<p>It seems like I get just one or two good hummingbird shots each week.</p>

<p>martin, there's a lot of motion blur on that shot, which might rob detail. i'm guessing you used f/16 to try to increase DoF to help insure an in-focus capture with all the subject movement, but perhaps 1/200 isn't fast enough for hummers? i realize that's the max flash sync speed on a d90, but you might want to try a faster shutter, wider aperture and higher ISO -- with no flash.</p>

<p>interestingly enough, i just saw a PBS show on them. i had no idea, but they are actually predators who feed on insects. their wings can beat 100 times a second, so to actually freeze their motion, you need more speed.</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone. Last Wednesday was the first day of moderate summer temperatures after 40 days of temps in the high 90's and 100's, so hubby and I went to the zoo for some walking and picture taking. I am still getting used to the Nikon D7000 after the D300 and the new Tamron 18-270mm lens after carrying the 70-200 and 17-50 lens for the last couple of years. I do miss the f/2.8 though! Here's a photo of the Scarlet Macaw in the Avian House at the Detroit Zoo. It's the 1st time I've seen them in my many trips to the zoo. </p><div></div>

<p>A great start to this Wednesday!! So many lovely photos already as usual. Really loved the below:<br>

Lorne's hawk, Jana's portrait, Tony's reflection of water, Gary's crash photo, Eric's nightclub shot, Lionel's shot of afternoon snooze, Ismail and Elliot's flowers.<br>

My photo this week is of a flower known as Aparajita in Eastern India. It's mostly found in tropical equatorial Asia and its actual scientific name is Clitoria Ternatea. Happy Wednesday you all!! Go Nikon Go!! :-)</p><div></div>

<p>I love the "crayfish catcher" and "camel tongue" pictures. Not sure if I'd risk getting that close to a camel though - that camel spit is a devil to wipe off your lens!</p>

<p>Mine's a very safe picture of a detail of the stained glass in Ludlow church, England. D700 + Tokina 28-80mm, 1/800th @ f/8, ISO 3200.</p><div></div>

<p>Great pics this Wednesday morning so far. This young toad is hangin' out watching the sunset. I'm having trouble getting releases from these under age models.:) Nikon D3, Sigma 150 2.8 macro, 1/80 sec, F/13, 800 ISO, SB 900 Flash.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

The Temiskaming Kennel Club Dog Show is on this week (you didn't know?). Harry isn't a breeding dog so he's not participating. There are so many beautiful and handsome dogs! This chap's eyes are so 'human' looking.</p><div></div>

[birdied]

<p>Wonderful shots again today. Thanks to those who commented on my photo last week, I do appreciate it.<br>

<p>Good Afternoon Nikonista's,<br /> Holiday over :( But what a set of images...hopefully you'll like too...fair few will appear on here.<br /> Gone for another of the four piece that blew (and continue to do so!) everybody away at the Hearbreak Bar in Benidorm. Hope you like.<br /> <a href="../photo/14032173&size=lg"></a><em><strong><a href="../photo/14032173&size=lg">D40X (10-20mm F/4-5.6G) 10mm, F/5 @ 1/2s, ISO 1600 Flash: SB-400</a></strong></em></p><div></div>

<p>Ah! sorry...looks like somebody forgot to set the conversion to the 700mb file size!</p>

<p>Hello wednesday! Loving what I have seen so far.<br>

From me is another dog photo. Time to rustle up some human victims, err . . . subjects again.<br>

Taken with a D300 18-55 kit lens.</p><div></div>
