Up & Away

This was a very lucky shot. I was sitting in the yard basicly waiting on the birds to
fly around the feeders. Had my flash and lens all preset for a certain distance to the feeder.
Two of the hummers started to chase each other off and I just pointed the camera up and tried to focus on them. Luckily I hit it very close and got this shot.
Did some post work in PS/CS ( crop & sharpen a tad) and noise reduction in Neat Image to help the shot out a bit.
BTW...The Neat Image home purchased version retains the EXIF info.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM
1/500s f/14.0 at 104.0mm iso800 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original

Very cool! It's a great feeling when you get a picture that practically falls into your lap like this (not that you didn't do all the prep work for another one).
