I marvel at both your sense of composition and the quickness of your trigger finger. ======================================= I'm in awe too. There's a guy here in Albuquerque named Dan True that does spectacular work with hummers using a MF Mamiya and electronic flash. He has a book out titled "Hummingbirds of North America." But his shots are done with four flash units, two tripods and a feeder. They're not in the wild, which is what makes Doug's shot so impressive. There's nothing wrong with Dan's work -- it's truly amazing -- but there's something about seeing the little critters in the wild that adds to the excitement. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
