Hummingbird photography

OK, what sort of bad person curses at adorable little hummingbirds? Well, just try taking a picture of one through this open window. I sit at the desk keeping an eye out, but by the time I snatch up my camera, fumble it open and zoom in, he's already looked me in the eye and flicked off.

Of course they keep coming back because that red Crocosima Lucifer is like opium to hummingbirds.

I finally got a few shots by pointing wildly and then cropping the image way down on Photoshop. But I don't think National Geographic will be knocking at the door. I'd rather photograph flowers-- they hold still.


How about a picture of my back?
Nah, nah, nah!
