Re: Humming birds with CZ2470

Excellent perspective and great light. Nailed it. Look at the claws is #2, spectacular. I didn't mention the 70-200mm but thought about it afterward.

Re: Zooming with feet of sort - CZ135 and Hummingbirds

#2 in set 2 looks like the best light yielding the least amount of noise resulting from the cropping. Still got the 70-400?

Re: Zooming with feet of sort - CZ135 and Hummingbirds

Trial, error, improvement.
Great lens choice for background blurring.
What's your next move?
