Photography

Took 160+ pics before I caught him well enough.

Sounds like an animal that would exist in Avatar:TLA

So is it a hummingbird, a hawk or a moth?

I came across one of these out with my camera once. A macro lens. It was moving so fast I couldnt tell what it was. So I set my aperture to a high number and a fast shutter and had to make many attempts before I got one half way clear. And what looked back at me was a bit scary.

I had gotten a picture of the face staring right at me. And it looked like a tiny owl. It was so bizarre I was like. This can't be real. I had not heard of these moths at this time btw.

I took probably another 50 or more and ended up with one pretty good photo.

But it was so creepy to come across a tiny owl flying around and having no idea what was going on.

I'll share mine too because people here can appreciate how difficult it is to get a photo in focus.

Mine is still a little blurry. But the face was good so I'm happy with it.

I saw one of those in my garden last year. They are absolutely gorgeous insects.

Make a decision, is it a hummingbird, is it a hawk, or is it a moth?

One of my favorites. Thank you for your effort!

Keep trying, you'll get it eventually.

Is that what they're called? It took me almost a year to realize they weren't baby hummingbirds, because we have a plethora of both species around here.

I chose anger at a parrot because they ate one of the moths in front of me at one point, before I realized they were moths.

Harrier jet.

We often get them in our weed filled garden. Nippy little buggers.

Heh, I got buzzed by one yesterday. They love the plants in front of my house

I had no idea they existed. How fascinating and beautiful.
