Cameras are no longer mini computers, they are mega computers. I have been following people on You Tube. There is so much to learn! So two weeks ago there was a major program update. Thank God I had no problems with the update. Then the fun began.
Now I can take time lapse photos. This is something people have been complaining about for a while. I had to try it out, what better than finally capture those little hummingbirds that are flocking to my feeder.
I took over 600 hundred pictures. Many had nothing but the feeder, many had images that just weren’t that clear. I am sharing the best. When the focus is on the bird, look at the results!
The wings appear to be paper thin.
I will also be playing with the speed, see if I can freeze the motion of the wings. Then again, seeing them in this kind of motion is very cool.
Getting closer! I’m not sure this is the same bird. Well, maybe it is the same bird just a different session. I set up the camera many times.
Landing wheels, I mean claws at the ready.
Sometimes one is too hungry to wait to actually land.
Ok, now he can relax and eat. Yes this is a male, looks at the Jewel-tone feathers.
I am beyond amazed at this image, I can literally see the eyebrow on this tiny fellow.
There are plain brown ones, probably the females, as well as some red breasted ones. I also have to figure out how and where to set up the tripod, in some cases my images were back lit, or in these last pictures, I had to tilt the camera up. It is an unusual angle, but as I said, I need more practice.
