Mid-Air Refueling

My first ever hummingbird capture - with a camera!
wonderful crisp clean capture of the humming bird! nice bokeh too

Glad it was only a camera!! Great first shot :)

What a catch!! I'd be ecstatic if I managed a photo like this. (I'm trying to figure out what created all the white bokeh around the feeder.)

Damn the blur fouling the reflection of me holding a frisbee and a camera up to my face for the sake of a photo! I looked back at the pics where her eyes were in focus but there's no reflection there either so you didn't miss anything.

Beautiful capture Ron, great timing to stop the wing in flight, lovey composition with the light reflection off the water:)

Brilliant Ron! Well done.

@kauaikris Thanks Kristina! Good to hear from a new voice and thanks for the new follow!

@gilbertwood Thanks Denise - it was almost a shot with my hand. These guys scare the hell out of me when they buzz near my head - sounds like a helicopter!

@lyndemc I have to admit that I was indeed pretty ecstatic with the capture. The bokeh is a reflection of the afternoon sun on the Pacific Ocean.

I wait in vain for a photo of the master with a frisbee on her head. More photos of the doggy maybe?

@pcoulson Thank you kindly Peter! Seems like cheating when you take advantage of a feeder, but with that setting sun as a backdrop, I just had to do it. I have no shame.

@opticlens Thank you kindly Sarah!

@stray_shooter Well if taking shots of the birds at a feeder is cheating Ron I have sinned 3 times already this month, I'm not proud all mine count where ever they are taken lol:)

@stray_shooter Duh — I can see that now (that it's the ocean in the background.) You live that close to the water?? And lol *choke* about that word 'master'.
January 24th, 2015  
@lyndemc No, living within view of the ocean is a dream that will likely never be achieved. I'm a few miles inland, but this shot was taken from my cousin's home, where there is indeed a grand view of the Pacific. I'm envious!

So glad you pointed out the background information...I can see it now! What a view! And your hummingbird in flight...absolutely fabulous! A first rate winner!

(I'll send out a call for the date and place...)

Фантастика! У Вас вечное лето и эти малышки не могут замерзнуть

Looking again...this is so crisp! For mine, a sunnier day would have helped... and if that doesn't work, I'll have to look for another excuse!

Wow - fantastic capture!! Beautiful subtle colour.
