Wings

Monty has been helping me with my camera. I have been trying to get pictures of the hummingbird that comes to the window feeder. He is just inches from me and I have taken a ton of pictures - but I can never capture his wings. It really bothers me because he looks deformed in the pictures. Monty told me I need to change the shutter speed or something like that - I don't understand those things, I just want to point and shoot like I did with my film camera, but I want his wings to show.

Monty played with the camera and adjusted some of the manual settings and viola - it worked - the wings showed up great, but the picture was much too dark. So now I have to figure out how to fix that. I deleted all the pictures because I was disgusted with them and now for the past few days it has been raining steadily and I haven't been able to get any pictures. Frustration upon frustration. This is one of the pictures with no wings - well they are just a blur.
