digital photography

The hummingbirds have been in full buzz mode at my parent’s house. They have a feeder hanging from their back porch that attracts quite a few hummingbirds. Friday evening I decided to try to capture some with my digital camera.

I set my camera to Tv mode allows you to set the shutter speed so objects in motion can appear more in motion rather than still. I still get confused about which way to go with the settings to get the desired effect. I used a slower speed on the above picture. It was the first one I snapped, and I didn’t get another opportunity to take another one as he didn’t return to the feeder. He was too busy running off other hummingbirds.

I had hoped to get more pictures but will try again. The above picture is too dark but really didn’t have a chance to play with more settings. That way if I only get one shot hopefully it will be the one I want. Since hummingbirds are so fast, I will set up my shot first and test it. Then adjust the settings accordingly.
