Just Hanging Around

Shot from maybe a half mile away: One of these days I will have theright lens at the right time--the time that a hummingbird comesaround. This was cropped from a much larger photo. Commentswelcome.

Lannie:  If the bird was a half mile away, you are very farsighted.  Good capture, given the shooting conditions, well done.  Tom

I like the photo - it is appealing. However, as noted above, I think 1/2 mile might be a bit of a stretch. I have that same lens and a similar body and I know I could not come close to resolving that bird at even a quarter of that distance. 1/2 mile is close to the length of 9 football fields. Distance aside - nice capture.

Maybe I should have said "ten miles," so as not to be misunderstood.  Thirty feet (maybe the distance) was too far for this lens.

Thanks for your comments, guys.

Ah - I should have gone with my instinct and gone along with your humor!
