    Thanks for the tips. Once again, thanks for the precious photos. The hummingbird and the chick are priceless. We have lots of hummingbirds here in Chapala, Mexico where I live. They are beautiful. Thanks once again for a top rate lens.

    Great tips on taking photos. I'm currently working on discarding a large amount of digital photos that don't deserve to be seen. They sure do take up huge amounts of hard disk space. :)

    Great lens! You have a real talent! I hope one day to be able to photograph as great as you!

    I'm still learning my camera. Take loads of pictures, but still can't get them to hold still :) Appreciate the lessons. I will surely take them to heart.
  • nickupton Apr 20, 2012 @ 2:48 am | delete
    Great tips and great photos. One technique that you have mentioned here has made more difference to me than any other; using the timer to reduce movement and get better photos in low light conditions.

    Thanks for the tips that I have been using when taking photos--like taking lots of pictures and squeezing the shutter. I do trash the bad photos after reviewing them and cropping some of them in Photoshop. I am so much happier with my pictures lately. A High Five to you, Steve.

    That Hummingbird photo is superb. The tips are great, esp. the 'squeeze instead of press'--I used to ruin great pics until I learned that one.

    Amazingly detailed photos and the composition is beyond wonderful. I love the tactile quality of your pictures -- feel like reaching out and touching the birds, but I'll have to settle for sprinkling them with angel dust for now. Bleassed and featured on my "Wing-ing it on Squidoo" lens.

  • sherioz Apr 15, 2012 @ 11:58 pm | delete
    I never thought to consider that in digital the photo is IN the image as opposed to BEING the image. Now I will feel less "guilty" for cropping as if I wasn't good enough in setting up the composition in the first place. Also, I like the tip about thumb under the camera when shooting. If you were in Israel, I'd take classes from you.
