    Very nice shot. I've taken a bunch of hummingbirds and I know how tricky it can be. Side note - what do you put in your feeder? We have trouble getting them to drink from ours!

    • SkylarDec 13, 2016 at 8:06 PM

      It's at my mother in laws apartment. She says they use the food that came with the feeder.

      • SeamusTheDogDec 13, 2016 at 11:32 PM

        Thanks. We've tried buying stuff but they seem to examine it and just fly off.

      People usually use simple sugar water, I believe. Otherwise there is hummingbird nectar you can buy from the store.

      • ElainaRobertsDec 13, 2016 at 9:20 PM

        I get hummingbird nectar because if you're not careful, sugar water can ferment and kill your poor birds via alcohol poisoning :(

      • jamminDec 13, 2016 at 9:27 PM

        Yeast from the air?

      • ElainaRobertsDec 13, 2016 at 9:31 PM

        Yeah and the heat, though not a problem right now lol Still, it was easier for me to just buy it and since the feeder was so colorful, I got the clear nectar.

    • SkylarDec 13, 2016 at 7:36 PM

      Awww thank you ❤. I always wanted to do more with photography but i don't know where to starr.

      • jamminDec 13, 2016 at 7:50 PM

        Sharing what you've already taken in a community is a great place to start. They'll provide encouragement and inspiration. Looking through posts, reading and interacting with other photographers will give you ideas of new things to try.

        What kind of camera are you using?

      • SkylarDec 13, 2016 at 7:52 PM

        Canon rebel 5

      • jamminDec 13, 2016 at 7:56 PM

        Nice. You've done a great job with it on this shot. The composition, exposure, focus, everything. Hope to see more from you soon!

      • ElainaRobertsDec 13, 2016 at 8:05 PM

        Jammin, meet my son in law :)

      • jamminDec 13, 2016 at 8:16 PM

        Yay! Nice to meet you Skylar! Welcome to Imzy and photopigs!

        Most people know me by Ben, but that was already taken by the time I got here. :-)

  • PipsyDec 13, 2016 at 10:25 PM

    This is really cool! The hummingbird is so cute and round and fat, I love it.
