]]> Comment on Photographying hummingbirds by Chuck http://www.tranquilphotos.com/blog/2010/photographying-hummingbirds/comment-page-1#comment-22 Chuck Fri, 13 Aug 2010 14:21:21 +0000 http://www.tranquilphotos.com/blog/?p=316#comment-22 Great article -- thanks. I had been experimenting with my Nikon D200 (Dx format) and a Nikon 70-200 VR lens -- at about 10 feet, attempting to photograph one of my favorite birds: The American Goldfinch. It was late in the afternoon -- northern exposure, so the sun was to my left, already below the tree level in my yard. Problem, not enough light -- well you know the rest of the story: very high ISO yields noisy photo. Wide open lens yields "soft" photos -- not enough depth of focus. Flash -- I have a Nikon flash (on the camera) and I have the "better beamer" -- I didn't try that yet -- but is it just for "fill" flash -- sync speed -- one of your photos was at 1/2000 -- can the flash sync at that speed? When I asked for the "exif" it was just for comparison. I am not sure if it is worthwhile for me to sell my extra 3 kidneys (lol) to purchase a Full Frame camera -- Ponder: 200mm lens on DX and FX -- same shot -- the DX has the 1.5 crop factor (I believe -- Nikon D200) -- so, to crop the FX photo so that both are the same, enlarging the FX much more -- are the photos the same or have we lost something in the FX because of the excessive cropping? But, on the newer FX (like the slightly more affordable Nikon D700) are the pixels larger, the technology newer, etc. to more than compensate for the cropping. Thanks again for your insight and wonderful nature shots. Chuck PS I wish that Nikon would make an affordable Large Format (FX) camera -- I really believe that DX is somewhat equivalent to the old 110 film, and FX is somewhat equivalent to the 35mm film. To get to 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" film quality costs about $20,000 -- wow. I had a Mamiya C330 which had really good glass -- took excellent photos that could be enlarged to mural size -- but it was film. Great article — thanks.

The further away the background is from your focal point, the more blurred out it will be. Also a note about depth of field…
