Eighty for One


The hummers were returning and I sat out on the patio in the lounge chair with the D3100 and manual 180mm and 2x attached. Light was low and I had to up the ISO to 400 in order to maintain a minimum of 125 shutter speed. I was shooting manual, as that is the only way I can shoot with the old legacy lenses.
The hummers were mostly sitting on the rose bush limbs and resting between trips to the feeder. This time, the male hovered long enough in one position to allow one quick shot. None of the photographs I took were sharp by any means, I think that is just the nature of having the 2x attached, but the light was sweet in the background and sharpness was not critical.
