One morning I planned to finish a roll of chrome by experimenting with 280/2.8 and an extension tube to photograph migrating Monarch butterflies as they nectared on one of my butterfly bushes. Then I noticed the hummer perched inside the bush. It was within the focusing range of the lens setup and remained in position for five frames. The most useable is at: http://pages.cthome.net/royzartarian/hummer.html Although I have seen the species in the area, this was the first sighting in the yard.
