Birds Birds not in Flight Thread - Post Your Shots Here

[Thad E Ginathom]

At least the rest of the settings were good.

The epitaph of many an unusable pic which was one small thing away from being a Great Pic!

It's hard... being a photographer

At the B&B while on a short local vacation. Yeh, I know, it is not exotic. But, it looked like a nice bird.

We've had hummingbirds show up at the feeder much more regularly lately as they prepare to migrate soon. I took a lot of photos and the flash no longer scares them off. I took the first shot with my RX10V and a Godox IT32 flash.

I think this is an excellent photograph of this little bird. That said, if you don't mind me saying so, where you chose to put your signature spoils the photograph. It would be better in the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of the photograph.

On this particular one, I personally would have put it on the left-hand side, as the bird is looking towards the right. I'm not criticising your photograph, and I think it is really good. I'm just offering a suggestion about where you should put your signature.
