Patience pays, but I couldn’t wait to share the somewhat obscured hummingbird with you—four days ago. This afternoon, the same hummer, or another, frolicked about the Bird of Paradise outside my office window. These shots, all from Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and through the double-pain glass, are what I wanted on Nov. 20, 2023.
The Featured Image is the last taken of the set. Vitals: f/4.9, ISO 64, 1/120 sec, 230mm (film equivalent); 1:10 p.m. PST.
My question about the second shot—and the first, too: Does that bird look angry to you? Vitals are same as the other.
The third captures bird in flight. Vitals: f/4.9, ISO 50, 1/180 sec, 230mm (film equivalent); 1:08 p.m.
The last is the first taken and luckiest of all. Vitals are same as the other and just five seconds earlier.
