I put up the carbon fiber tripod and gimbal head. Had to adjust the legs to three different levels. The focus is now working better. I selected "continuous" with 9 points so it is not as likely to grab the background. If I keep this up long enough I will be able to capture some of the frequent "dog fights" as two dozen hummingbirds vie for spots at the feeders. I can take two dozen pictures and not get the same bird twice. It also appears that this is the time of the year for new feathers because some of them are less than perfectly groomed. I am getting images with as much as 3,000 pixels across a bird so they would print well. No "diddling" here other than getting the exposures right. Perhaps some NIK treatment would do better. If I did this all day, I would have perhaps two or three hundred pictures to sort through. The background is a wood fence about 30 feet from the camera.
