 I did finally get a chance to use my new lens over the Holiday's, the weather just was not cooperative.

In addition to the new lens might I suggest a new post processing software that enables you to resize your images to 800 pixel on the long side for posting on Internet sites! ;)

Looks good, try focusing on the face, or adjust the F stop for a wider DOF

 Thank you all for the comments, I'm really happy with the lens choice I made.

 On the DOF, I've shot a lot of hummer's, stopping up from an F4 also requires reducing shutter speed to less than optimal range for hummingbirds. The other thing that to me makes a subject with color stand out better is quality bokeh, which you won't get as much if the background is in focus in my experience.

 Just bump your ISO up once, you will maintain your speed even with the one stop loss from f4 to 5.6 ;)

 I'm not sure what you saying, in manual mode, if you "bump" your ISO, you have to manually adjust all other aspects including shutter speed, they are not contingent on each other in manual, auto mode you don't pick and choose your individual setting's with a D7000. Here's a good blurb on D7000 manual modes;

 "exposure would not change in M mode, the camera " thinks " you know what you are doing and everthing, shutter and aperture stays at set. that is how M works, more so if you have auto ISO turned off.

"in A aperture you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed, therefore you have control over DOF and sharpness.

in S shutter, you set the shutter and the camera sets the aperture therby giving you control over motion.

the camera will set the correct exposure in 'A' & "S", however it will do nothing in M."

 I would say again though, even if I could I wouldn't change anything about these photo's, to each their own there.

 Correct. If you were shooting aperture or shutter priority it would change by itself so one less step for you. If shooting manuel and adjusting the ISO you could adjust your speed as well and not lose anything.

Hi Darrel, I'm new here.  Did I miss where you said what lens you actually got?  Beautiful shots.  What were the manual settings that you used?  Thanks, Mike, Issaquah, WA

 Thanks Mike, I took these with the Nikkor F2.8 70-200mm VRII. I generally don't shoot in manual modes as the D7000 does not save your setting's without them saved on a memory card and it get's very cumbersome to fiddle with it while trying to take a large amount of shot's in one day. Auto mode on the D7000 has an excellent IQ. Ideally, you would want several different setting's saved on the D7000 if you were going to shoot in manual mode a lot, otherwise you'd be spending more time adjusting than actually shooting. I may get to that point but I haven't found a need to yet, or the time to do it.
