Super Telephoto-420-800mm lens

I am just now getting the hang of the telephoto lens. Even on the tripod, everything wobbles and weaves. By the time that I get it focused, the slightest breath and I have a blurred photo. I dreamed of shots that looked like National Geographic. I still have more to learn. It is impressive that this bird is so far away that I could just tell that it was on the wire by the naked eye. I think that I need to still work on the internal setting too for the camera because the sky is an unforgiving background. Also, it was 99 degrees so my patience level was a little off. I have ordered some more bird identification books as I gave Dad mine last summer.

Hummingbirds are the hardest little devils to catch on film. Just finding him or her has been a major achievement as it is feeding naturally in my garden. I don't have hummingbird feeders.
