I took the picture of Pumba in my house with a white core board as backdrop.. ap5.6 shutter 1/90 window light..800 pro film..

I took the picture of the Humming bird at camp this weekend
boy o boy they are sure small... I had my 300mm lens set up.. tripod.. with a flash sinked at 750 shutter..
then I stood on the coffee table with triger in hand and waited and waited..... Finally got him.. or her can't tell....

Decided to just copy and past these 2 images together....

Great catch of Pumba, Claudette! The male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird adds a light touch to your great title!!
Your tiny bird weighs 2-3 grams and is 3 inches long. They do make a cute buzzing sound. Sounds like you had a great time putting this together! #1557841

This is just absolutely adorable!! I love the cat! It has such neat tones and such warm features! The hummingbird is a great shot too! I can not beleive you captured that much color on him/her!! #1608886

Marsha S. Smith July 21, 2005

This is precious. Kitty and birdie - both adorable. I think the little bird is a mature male ruby throat. The females are just kind of brownie and so are young males. #1619020

Mary E. Heinz July 27, 2005

I do love the kitty....definitely a 10++++, but I also like the creativity.
Look up hummingbirds....they are quite
special creatures.... #1647211
