The quality of this hummer picture is mostly due to the fact that we stalk the little guy obsessively and load the feeder with addictive substances so he/she keeps coming back.
Okay, okay, I’ll answer the question. It’s a Nikon D200 w/Tamron 28-300 lens. The lens is a reward I bought myself out of earnings from this site. I’m really happy to be able to show concrete results of where that ad money goes.
J took the one above, I took the bee one (added later).
Seriously, a photo hack is just someone who hasn’t taken the thousands (really) of photos that we’ve taken. Our hard drive is an image bank in its own right. I believe that if anyone spends as much time with the camera as we do, they’ll get damn fine pics.
Okay, okay, art school helped some. Though husband did not go and he has a swell eye.
Woke up this morning to city sounds. While browsing through posts in my Google Reader, your beautiful photos popped up and transported me back in time to my grandfather’s garden in rural Ontario. An old tree outside the kitchen window was full of different bird feeders. And so, when eating breakfast in the morning, we would watch the birds. Thanks.
Beautiful! I spent some time photographing hummingbirds in Colombia a few weeks ago and was surprised how easy it was to catch them on film–as long as you stalk them!
That is an amazing photo. Brilliant! What kind of camera are you using?

i LOVE those photos – that bee one is great! love your camera…
Wow Pam, I feel like such a hack when I see pictures like these…
Then again, at least I’m not getting hummingbirds all hopped up on birdy smack.
Aw, shucks.

Fantastic photos. Nice antidote to this morning’s grey skies.
Beautiful! That bee photo is something. Nice work.

They’re like little photo lessons in Depth of Field and Shutter Speed, eh?
Lovely! I’ve never seen a hummingbird in real life, much less taken such a stunning picture of one.

Super photos.
Stunning! Sure you stalked the bird but the quality of the image is without doubt.
Nice work.
