Thank you very much, Jim! Ronny is still a young pup, I believe but I do have plenty of time for myself . I am enjoying your Pasadena series, BTW.

Thank you very much, Birdie! I believe you also have a similar image of the same guy, right?

Thank you, Ronny! You didn't seem to have any problems with them . As always, your macro images are top-notch!

By nature hummingbirds will approach the flower from the front and most of the time you setup your camera to capture them from the side. i am not saying that it is easy to get them in perfect focus and their wings fully spread but it is more challenging and it brings a little variety in bird photography to setup the camera from the rear of the flower and to capture the hummingbird as it was approaching closer to you in the process. Especially, in the case of this species that has brightly blue-colored throat, this method is surely more rewarding.
Some impressive photos here over the last few pages. Ronny, your insect shots continue to be remarkable! Here's several museum photos with the Voigtlander 15mm and the Contax Zeiss 50mm 1.7. All with A7RII.
I visit Gloucester fairly often and am always drawn to the 14th century cloisters in the Cathedral - one of my books describes them as ' The most splendid and extensive cloisters in England, with the first significant fan vaulting in the country'
. I am enjoying your Pasadena series, BTW.
