Feathered Friends

2007.04.19




I left home early on Sunday and stopped by the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden before I picked up my grandfather. The birds were out enjoying their Sunday Brunch. You should have heard the birds singing that morning. Like a symphony. Some were a little shy and I tried to be as still as a mouse and eventually, they came close enough for me to capture. With my camera that is. :)

Data - all with the D200, 70-300 VR lens, handeld @ 100 ISO
1 - 300mm 1/320 sec @ F6.3
2 - 300mm 1/400 sec @ F6.3
3 - 300mm 1/320 sec @ F5.6
4 - 300mm 1/500 sec @ F5.6

Jannie Oh thank god this was in the botanical gardens & not in Spike's backyard!! These are stunning shots! I especially love the hummer. I know how hard they are to capture. Well done!!

vollenda Thanks everyone :)

Jannie - Ha, no, these weren't in Spike's backyard. Although he does sit in the window (see Friday's post) and watch the hummingbirds that visit my neighbor's feeder.
