I'm a REAL newbie, so if you boo me off the boards, I'll understand. My hubbie and I live on a beautiful two acre piece of property in Melbourne Florida that we kept wooded. We have lots of birds but I can't figure out how to get good shots with all the shade. The trees are TALL so the birds hang out near the tops of the trees, making focusing difficult as well as almost all the shots are backlit. Lately, I have been trying to get shots of a hummingbird that is at least 15 feet above the ground sitting in the oak trees. I have a canon rebel XT with a 75-300 IS lens. Is there anyway I can get this shot with the equipment I have or would I need to upgrade?
1/250 5.6, ISO200, Focal Length 300
