Thanks Patrick. #11750402William S. Briggs March 07, 2019 1
Nice capture Osar! I love the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and I know how difficult it is to get a good shot of those fast moving little hummers. Hard to follow them and still get correct lighting, background, composition, focus, etc. Good job! #11753460Oscar J. Pung March 08, 2019
Thanks William. It is a great museum. We spent over an hour watching the Hbirds in the aviary. Fortunately, each one seemed to return to the same perch every few minutes so I was able to get a few good photos. #11753518Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
