Well magnolias are stationary so easy prey!
Plus only a few days later and much of the plant looks past its best.
Got a tip for us?

I didn't get the wing blur that I was originally going for in this shot, but I liked the backlit feathers on the wing...

Bit different for me,
Been trying some new things, this is a vintage Helios lens with the front element reversed, the so called petzval mod

This has finally prompted me to do the same with my 44-2 lens, so here's my first attempt...

Thanks OzBok. Sorry for the delay in replying - been travelling this week for work. Taken with the Canon 16-35mm lens at 24mm on a 6D (full-frame) body. Shutter speed was 1/80th sec at f8.0 ISO 200. The thinking behind the shot was to use a relatively narrow (high number) f-stop to get good front-to-back focus (f8-f11 is ideal for this sort of short focal-length lens). Then adjust the ISO to get the desired shutter speed - in this case fast enough to capture the waves breaking but still slow enough to give a sense of motion. The rest is down to the weather and taking a few repeat shots to get the waves at the right time. Hope this helps.
Here's one from about 10 minutes later...in the middle of a hail storm. Comments always appreciated.

Beautiful. I hope your little motor home is keeping you warm on the Northan leg of your world tour.House on Mull...
Cheers, AFB. I'll defer to Cheese&Apple on teaching that one! I will say that it involves observation, anticipation, and persistence (much like any other genre of photography). I'm happy to share my thoughts/approach as to the hummingbirds though.
Love the two-tone effect of sky and land. Having been there a few times, you've certainly captured the atmosphere beautifully.House on Mull...
We mostly get sparrows in our garden. They have had feeders for years, but the minute I open the door, they are off. Naturally skittish birds. Can't possibly see them taking to a speed light.
Are hummingbirds quite tame then?
