Placed 42^nd in the challenge. A very late season Ruby Throat Hummingbird

Over the summer we moved to within five miles of the beach and prime birding sites. I saved my pennies and gave myself an early multiholiday gift, my birthday is 12/24, a Sigma 150-600 lens. ...

always said that is why my brother is late to holiday meals and planned events.

Why would a Jewish owned business be closed on Sunday?

Then that makes two of us.  My husband has always been supportive of my hobbies from dealing with kids, house and dinners when I was getting ready for and at horse shows (back in the day) to being ...

My local camera shop, where I used to live, died a slow death with the advance of digital.  They had been a good source of used gear and offered to order and at least try to price match new ...

My only "local camera store" these days is a Best Buy.  I would consider buying from them as I can actually hold and check out the item, but they have never matched the prices of B&H for new gear ...

I bought a Pentax K5, good condition, from them a few years ago.  After a couple of months the lens release button fell off.  I sent it back to them and received one that appeared to be new in ...

I had af-c to release only but af-s to release and af-c set to focus,  I changed them both to release.  Problem solved.

Okay. I normally have my camera set for BBfF and the shutter to take picture only. Today I tried setting up a custom setting and I can't seem to find a way to stop the shutter button from ...

I just did a quick search, personal interest I own 2 pair of Nikon bins and a Nikon spotting scope.  Plenty are showing up in the USA.  Hope they stay in the game.  They make a good range of ...

Let me explain.  I kept changing the metering so the scene reflected what I saw..through my dark glasses, thus it came out too dark

But the one time I tried photographing with darkened glasses the scene reflected by the camera was what I saw..but what I saw was much darker than the reality of the scene.

I tried a little practice and discovered that I have a tendency to look slightly downward and roll my eyes up towards the distance portion when looking at "eye level" ahead of me for pictures or ...

I have worn five zone clear progressives for years.  Bottom third is for reading, top third is for distance.  In the middle, picture a capital letter I, is a progressive zone that does a gradual ...

Thank you all.  Myaim in this shot was two-fold. Getting used to my new lens and being able to prove that this hummer is still around the mid-Atlantic (USA) this late in the year.

Just got mine day before Thanksgiving.  tried it out briefly yesterday and today started some testing to see if I needed focus adjustment, etc.  Also played with doing same shots with OS off, on 1 ...

I was out taking in my yard practicing with my new lens. This hummer has been hanging around for weeks, well beyond his should have migrated date.  I didn't try to stop the wing motion but ...

Thank you.  That was my thought as well.  But monopod feet are going to have to wait a few weeks before I can try them out.

I am posting this question here (rather than in another forum), after much thought, as for I am a beginner in this situation. I have a Sigma 150-600 c lens, using it with a Nikon D7200.  I ...
