    Hummingbirds - My best so far!

    I can't take all the credit. He did cooperate by minimizing the number and the speed of moving parts at that particular moment. But it was my finger on the shutter.

    Another one of those things where you just have to keep swinging and, sooner or later, you hit one.

    You're getting there kevin. Align your feeder for a lighter and less busy background. Grass or a pine tree works well. (getting some distance between the feeder and the background, will give a smooth bokeh at smaller aperatures)

    Appreciate your comments and suggestions Steve. The background is very close to this feeder and it is always in the shade. Probably why its their favorite feeder but I will try a different position and see what I can do. Thank you.

    I like it as well, including the background just the way it is.
