\"CalliopeLooking up\u00a0– Nikon D300, f5.6, ISO 640, 1\/2000, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday I went back to the island to see if I could photograph more hummingbirds and they did not disappoint so I thought I would share two more images of them. I loved the pose of the bird above and the wonderfully smooth background.<\/p>\n

It was looking up at another hummingbird flying above it. I really enjoy getting these images in non-set up conditions with the birds doing what they want to do naturally.<\/p>\n

It was also nice to meet Jeff and Liz Gordon of the ABA yesterday at the entrance to Antelope Island State Park. ABA<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"CalliopeCalliope Hummingbird feeding on the nectar of a Rocky Mountain Bee Plant\u00a0– Nikon D300, f5.6, ISO 640, 1\/2000, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This image I like for the “messier” background because there are so many different layers and depth to it.<\/p>\n

I am having a great time photographing these hummingbirds and they have helped to take my mind off of other things while I have had them in my viewfinder and when I view the images on my screen.<\/p>\n

Please look at the very thorough and thoughtful opinion that Jeff Cooper offered on the ID of Calliope for the birds I posted yesterday in the comments section of Calliope Hummingbirds?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Friday everyone.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
