Hi Luggers,
I have been experimenting with slower shutter speeds (1/200) to emphasize 
the speed of the hummer's wings.
Here's a photo from yesterday illustrating that:

I am of two minds about it. It shows the speed of the wings - but I like the 
clarity of wings frozen in flight from the earlier pictures too.

C&C always welcome

Howard (in Hummerland)
