No, they fly alone.  The trip over the Gulf of Mexico can take 18-24 hours of continuous flight over water.

My Olympus cameras have the OVF simulator as well.  Of course that defeats one of the major advantages of the EVF - the ability to see what the exposure will be in the EVF.

Well done.  I don't think I would have seen it.

I would go with the Cooper's.  Really nice image.

Looks ready for the trip.  My residents left two days ago.  I had 3 migraters come by today, but did not see any that chose to say the night.

Thanks.  A good 2X TC allows filling the frame with the subject and getting more detail when you cannot fill the frame without the TC.

Thanks, I am glad you liked it.  Hummingbirds are such beautiful small birds.

Figuratively speaking. My two remaining hummingbirds began their 2000+ mile migration yesterday morning. It is difficult to image that a 3 month old, 3 inch bird that weighs 3-4 grams can fly to ...

You have great birds in NZ.  I have visited a couple of times and would love to go again.  Unfortunately travel is far more difficult now than a few years ago.

Mine normally leave about the 20th of September, though I occasionally get late migraters from farther north who stop off for a late afternoon/evening feeding before resuming their migration the ...

I had a Rufous female that ended up in northern NJ a few years ago.  She stayed the winter and migrated the following April.  She never made that navigational error again (temperatures as low as ...

I wish.  Maybe I could get away to somewhere that had a little less rain than we have had this year.

It is camera/lens movement blur.  The second image is slightly blurred across the whole frame, it is just more noticeable on the fine grass than on the deer.  If it was a focus error, the grass ...

Beautiful set of images.  Very well done.

The snap focus does not give the same fine focus adjustment capability as using the camera manual focus.  I use the snap focus for fast manual focus, presetting a focus distance and manual ...

If it is still over/underexposing the images, it could be a lens problem.  When my FTs 12-60mm failed, it initially would not expose correctly at 60mm.  Then it progressed to shorter focal lengths ...

Not the same sensor. The E-M1.1 used a Panasonic sensor. DXO Despite that the E-M10 and E-M1 sensor share similar performance characteristics. Although in fairness, the E-M1 has slightly better ...

Focus the lens at 10 feet with the snap ring back. Push it forward, it will be focused at 10 feet. Now use autofocus to focus on something at 50 feet. Pull the ring back (not turning it as you ...
