About the Image(s)
First, let me tell you some of the processing was in PS but because the image is from the IPhone I wanted to share it. The result is rather amazing, in my opinion. Here's the story.
Sitting on a friend's deck with no intention of taking pictures. No camera either. But there were several feeders under a beam and the entertainment was great. Using ProCamera I took a bunch of shots until I could get a setting that seemed to work. I could not see the birds I was shooting and just hoped for something to show up. Here's what I recall about the settings on the phone; ISO 2000, shutter speed 1500. I overexposed by about two stops because shooting into the bright sky left me with no detail, that I could see anyway, in the birds. It wasn't until I got home for a look in the computer that I found this one.
The image is cropped about 50% and pretty heavy noise reduction applied.
Hummingbirds are tough to shoot under the best of circumstances. That the phone could do this well is awesome. Imagine what could be coming!
