Unfortunately the sun was setting and I had to take thise pictures with a ISO of 2500, which dosn't realy make a sharp picture no more.

For my regular photos I use Aperture and for special pictures Adobe CS5.5. Whit this one I have used a sharping tool and I boosted up the light.
They are good for ISO 2500, what camera is that?
Adobe Lightroom has a feature which softens the grain, do you use something similar?
Good idea Jeannette, I'll be looking forward to seeing them.
They are so cute :)
And yes I have had the same problems. I think I have some in ISO 800, so it's not the best quality, but I was quite close because they visited my garden. I'll upload them later.
That's probably where most people see them. As I was taking these pictures there were a few people staring at the tree where I was shooting, wondering what I was doing. They just could not see the little birds flying around. Only when they came close enough the could spot them.
So sweet! I used to see them from time to time at my feeders in England!
Beautiful! Good that you remained so patient with these fast moving birds! They're so cute!
It is yes, they always come in groups and are all over the plays. Funny little birds.
Lovely bird.
I know, they are so fast. Thank you.
beautiful bird, good work, they never stop, congratulations!
In spanish is called mito.
As I said, the pictures were taken with a ISO of 2500 becouse you realy need a fast shutter speed. I also used a 500mm lens becouse you can't get close and they are very fast. From the more then a hundred pictures I had just nine left who were any good.
Oh, gorgeous! There is a little group of these birds that live near me, but anytime I see them when I have my camera, I can never get a good picture (they move around so much!). They are adorable, I love these little guys :) Lovely photos!!
