DoobieDucks Humming Birds n Weed

[DoobieDuck]

Hey friends...need a new desktop image? What about a magazine cover? These images take a great deal of my time and a comlex set up......really. I'm sharing them with you to brighten you day. Thanks for your views....DD

[sevens]

outstanding ...wow .......

[Swampy]

lol I bet he's buzzed :D

[jb247]

Very nice indeed, you know how to wield that camera!!

Peace...j.b.

[rev.clone]

now that's photography!!!! outstanding work!

[Red Sky]

:) Sweet Bro Nice Pics:D :D

[Tank]

Very Sweet pictures DD. Thanks.

[micah]

Awesum pics DD..a kodak moment for sure..can i ask what type of camera you used?
I enjoy taking pictures of birds as well that come out front my window...Micah

[DoobieDuck]

Thank you everyone for the views and posts. Micah..I use a caono 20D..this image with a Sigma 105 Macro lens. But...it's not the camera or lens that are really important here. The set up and patience are. I shoot over 200 images a morning to get four or five like these. Thanks again...I'll wait to see if it is worthy of a Treating Yourself cover! DD

2 kewl! Thanx for sharing...:D

[cdndawger]

Great photos. definately a lot of time and patience

[DoobieDuck]

Bill thank you...Pat I appriciate your comments ...patience.....Echo..I have 3 quart size feeders in the area and mornings now about 30 to 40 birds buzzing. The birds will stop by any flower in a vase, as this was an indoor bud cut that morning..they even stop at the BBQ tongs that have a red handle. Very unfortunate for me...
i spent the day yesterday defending my images on a growers site where the admin claimed they were fake, I was a liar, and trying to trick their members. After I sent high resolution files of these to them they had to agree that these are real. No apology though...some sites don't appriciate the images photographers such as I give them, give, to share with their viewers..it was a sad day for me....DD

Very nice pics! Not sure about them being used for a cover but definitely worthy of being published. Put an article together about your hobby ( Photography ) and include pics that you have taken. It's a really good patient story that I am sure our readers would enjoy.

Take Care and Peace

Hey Doobie don't let the haters get you down. Your pictures (not just these ones) are stunning. I was wondering how you pulled the trick too! :D You are very lucky where you are.

[Pistol Pete]

Fantastic Images You Have There.
This Year My Rottie And His Girlfriend Toto Have been Growing A Crop Just Behind Their Doghouse :rolleyes:
Buddy's Keen Eye , And Toto's Sense of Smell Have Proved Most Co Operative , And I Must Say They Are Pulling off A Nice Crop Considering They Are " All Paws ":D
I Caught Up On Buddy This Morning Whilst He Was Slug Hunting And Generally Checking Up On The Girls Progression, And Thought I Might Share The Hard Work Both Buddy And Toto Have Done This Year
Also A Big Up To Toto , Who This Time last Year Was Heavily Into Snorting Spidermites , And Hiding In Her Summer Doghouse
Anyway Here They Are Busy at Work:D

[DoobieDuck]

Marco thank you..I'll see what I can do. Green Girl thank you for the complements...and advice..have you any more questions shoot um by me. Pete what a family..and crop....for everyones information the Admin of the questionable site I was having problems with has sort of apologized and is welcoming me back. I will be doing more hummingbird images as this grow, Sweet Blue, fattens and resins up so keep an eye out for them in about a week or so...thanks everyone for your views and posts...DD

[sevens]

i was thinking that could be dangerous for the birds ...not with the picture you have done already but for the future one ...those buds are going to be very sticky very soon ..
this would be like a sticky flies catcher ,,,lol...
no dd i am just joking ..but you know ..we never know very nice oozing buds ...lol...

[DoobieDuck]

Sevens you might be right but keep in mind the feeders I am using get really sticky at times and the birds never seem to get any on them. Their little toung reaches about 2 1/2 inches from the end of their bill so they are still quite far from the flower. I'll keep a close eye on them and discontinue shooting if it seems to be a problem...I promiss..DD

[Tank]

Fantastic pictures DD. please keep up the pictures.. Amazing stuff.
Pete, very cool looking pups.. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback x Boxer

[TheKingsOf420]

Great pics DD.... What was your shutter speed like 1000..... I love how the bodies are perfectly in focus...... K+++ Keep it up.... I have a 40d with a 100mm 2.8 Macro... I love my lens... How does the sigma match up?????

[Pistol Pete]

Hey Tank ; I Named My First Rottie After A Pit Bull X Rhodesian Ridgeback:)
Derringer He Was Called
Here , I've Just Rustled Up A Quick Sketch Of Our Baby Three Year Old Buddy Big Foot , Plugging Mr Nice Seeds , Lol
( Just Kidding ; Photobucket.com :p )http://www.photobucket.com/PistolPete

[DoobieDuck]

Hey King..I set my camera on the auto fastest setting where it will choose the fastest shutter for the lighting. It usually is around 800 to 1200 in these. DD

[TheKingsOf420]

Nice well keep up the great work.... I really enjoy your pics..... I love those little scenes you do models ..... :D

[cannarchist]

very nice!

[DoobieDuck]

Kings thank you...cannarchist..you as well...this image has caused me more problems from people claiming it as fake than I ever expected. The one thing that keeps me positive is your appriciation and continued praise, thanks all of you for your views and comments..DD

Excellant shots, terrific quality. I too like to take wildlife shots and know how
difficult it can be to capture these photos. I do not profess to be able to come close
to being as good as you., but I enjoy the hobby.
If others do not believe you to honest then thier opinion is worthless anyways.
Do not take it to heart. What is important is knowing what you have accomplished, not what others think you can't!
Peace
Keep shooting!

[Kalidi]

Those are really nice. Just some of my thought would be get more of the bud or plant.
Those are really cool. I used to beable to stand still and let them land on my finger. OH maybe a shot with a TY mag in the back ground or something..........
Peace

Keep up th egood work YO....

[DoobieDuck]

Kalidi your thought is nice but very hard to acheive..I've tried and have these. Cannablis love your comments! JimIJ no ...no Art account...thank you...these images were captured a week or so after the original posted...thanks for your views..DD

[jam]

Take Care and Peace
Marco

Sorry Marco...harvest is over and 42 degrees yesterday has sent the models south for the winter....a next years project. Remember Marco you said this....
If we had the climate that you have we too could grow TREES
BP and jam thanks for the comments...thanks for the views...DD

[Smokin Moose]

The images of the Hummingbird are incredible! Just amazing!!

[Graehstone]

Oh boy, what fantastic shots, I too have a few of those little flying jewels as they visit my plants, I grow Orchids outside and they are a joy to watch. All of my pictures are like yours, take a gazillion and hope like heck and pick out the best, lol.
Yours' are waaaay better than mine.

Thanks so much for sharing yours.:p

[Smokin Moose]

^Wow, that last image is beautiful! Stunning work guys.

[DoobieDuck]

Whew..2008--really--been a long time in between posts huh? Well then....it is time for an update to this thread neglected by me, I'm sorry for the delay. I captured a few new pix this summer in the grow but only a few. My flocks were not as prevelant this year and my health has not allowed me to be as active as in my past. Here are hummers inspecting a cola of Bohempians Double Moonshine I grew. I'll try and keep this thread alive at least twice a year..lol. Peace and be well..DD

[DoobieDuck]

..and a couple BnW's to go with those last pix, one a little more grainy, thanks for your views and posts..DD
