Canon Rebel XT, 11o mm., f/5.6, 1/500 sec.Little by little, I'm getting up the courage to leave the world of point-and-shoot photography. Commenting on my attempts to photograph backlit hummingbirds at our feeder from inside the house, Daniel suggested that I try 1+ exposure compensation. After figuring out which buttons to press (and realizing that a third hand would be very useful), I played with 1+ and 2+ . The best results in today's very bright

These are the shots that I have taken in my mind but never captured in the camera. Very well done! I look forward to seeing your skills go even further.
Wonderful images - these are images I have never been able to capture, and I applaud yours enthusiastically.
Wonderful pictures. Looking forward to more:-)
I get a jolt every time I see your new pictures. Wonderful. :-)
It's so wonderful to watch you experiment. What great photographs!
Wow! Fantastic! These are very impressive.
Wow and Wow again!!! ;-)
Wonderful photos I love to see these birds.
I would call your photography experiments a wild success. Wonderful!
great job, Pam! Yes, everytime you have a backlit subject, open that lens up and overexpose by one or two stops. Then your subject will come in well exposed!
I love these hummingbird pics - beautiful.
I'm so glad I stopped by for a visit. These photos are absolutely wonderful. What a great job you've done capturing these amazing and lovely birds.
I have done the same thing with the exposure on my little Canon PowerShot, photographing other birds from inside the house during the winter. I'm learning, like you, to experiment :)
Our hummers will let me get very close sometimes. I posted some pictures of them back in May. My camera was only about a foot away.
I've enjoyed the rest of your blog too.
