Met this lovely but hyperactive little wasp in Kent! No idea about species though!
Cinderhill Woods - Kent
Polioptila plumbea.
This hyperactive little gem is readily found in the scrubby edges of margins, ditches and waste ground; it is not generally found in forests.
This is the male of the western subspecies 'bilineata'.
I think Mrs Fox dreamed of her next meal as it was Friday and Friday is their 'fasting' day, the one day in the week when they don't get anything to eat. No need to get up and be hyperactive on Fridays. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that they really don't eat anything that day because they may still catch mice or other small animals in their enclosure.
Et bien il nous aura fait courir celui-là. Pour ma part, 3 visites au Parc Angrigon où il avait été repéré par Jean-Marc, Michel, Jacques et al. Un peu comme un roîtelet pour la rapidité de mouvement. Gris, presque terne, et presque tout le temps à ras des souches ou du sol. Les deux premiers jours, pas beaucoup de lumière, quelques prises non satisfaisantes.
Alors au 3ie jour, content de celle-ci, je vous la présente. Un gros Lifer pour moi. Il ne reste qu'à espérer que ce petit oiseau saura résister et survivre au déclin de la température.
A lot of work this one was ! Three visits to the Park and a lot of running around in very limited lighting conditions. Thanks to several friends who had first spotted it, I was finally able on my third visit to pin it. A dull gray bird flying low to the ground, but such a lovely specimen. Reminded my of those hyperactive little kinglets. I can only hope it will survive the harsh conditions we are in for. Surely it will mean a change in nutrition.

Last macro shot - for now - of the old Pontiac. Is this an abstraction? I don't even like abstract or non-representational art, for the most part. Paintings of black smudges on red, or geometric shapes in turquoise against a pea-green background always leave me cold. I need to be able to link those shapes to... something. When examining the surface of this 1939 relic - slowly, slowly, with the camera on a tripod, which is a very good method of slowing down the process, a seemingly odd goal in this hyperactive age when everything must happen at the speed of light - I am allowing my mind to open to flights of fancy.
On the surface, this is old paint and rusting metal. But what does it look like? Does it connect with something recognizable? Is that a blue flag flying above the central rust blotch? What are the implications of that? Here's the paradox: as photographers, our work consists of capturing light reflected from surfaces, yet it may be possible to dive deeper, to extract, somehow, a deeper meaning.
I recognized long ago that the car is my personal Rorschach blot, and what I find there is usually ambiguous. Over the years I've found monsters, nuns, parachutes, forests, flowers, alien abductions, and more on its crumpled, battered exterior. In the end, all that matters to me as a photographer is identifying the essence of my subject and bringing it to light. I mean that both literally and figuratively.

They were a bit shy and their colours and features still developing, but very cute and hyperactive no less.

I always find Goldcrest difficult to photograph. Partly because they seem to be the most hyperactive bird in the UK, continually flitting backwards and forwards, and also because of their habit of searching through the densest and darkest trees and shrubs for their food. Taken in Denby Dale, West Yorkshire.
"The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,
All on a summer day:
The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,
And took them quite away!"
Another for my Villains set, it's almost Halloween! I woke up this morning with the beginnings of a cold and (foolishly) decided to go to work anyways, forgetting that Wednesday's are my craziest days and that I'd be taking a group of rather hyperactive high school students to the swimming pool....I think I need some soup and to fall asleep for about 35 hours.
How do birds keep warm on a cold and windy day? For these Bushtits this morning at Fort Mason in San Francisco, it meant huddling together to keep warm. The combined weight of these tiny five birds amounts to less than one ounce. Although small, these hyperactive birds eat up to 80% of their body weight in a single day, and they build hanging nests that can be up to a foot long.

I was having no luck getting a bunch of hyperactive common yellowthroats to cooperate when I heard a commotion behind me. Several young bucks were splashing through the frog pond on their way into the woods. A straggler stopped for a moment before he followed his buddies.
Super cute little girl in Puerto Vallarta showing the bright eyes of the sugar rush, and the smeared lip make up from continuous sampling of the candy treats,......which I dutifully added to. I mean the parents have to deal with the hyperactive kids when they get home, don't they? And I never never gorged my candy haul as a kid.................heehee........NEVER. Time to go watch the incredible Pixar movie COCO, again.....
It was tricky to follow this hyperactive Velvet Mite with the lens set to over three times life size. Out of six shots this was the best frame.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.
Hyperactive little neotropicals that scamper around dead branches like nuthatches wearing a zebra costume. Fun little birds, but a bit frustrating to shoot.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Often more heard than seen around the garden and always hyperactive but captured here in a brief moment of comparative stillness
In case you're hyperactive, there's a kiwi solution for you :
First, find yourself a nice glacier and a pickaxe.
Second, start digging your way in.
When you're finally exausted, you made it, it's time to get back home.

Fun facts: the butterfly has been chosen as an international symbol for people with ADHD. Many people in the UK criminal justice system have been identified as being affected by ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) (whether they have been diagnosed formally or not). The waiting list for a diagnosis in England varies (according to which health trust you fall under) between 12 weeks and 10 years. One of the characteristics of ADHD is impulsive behavior.
Catching a tender moment between these two ladies is a rare occurrence. Though I know they love one another, they are also each other's complete opposites, which can sometimes cause a bit of friction! Nala (left) is the youngster, and on top of that she has a hyperactive personality, whereas Polly (right) is an old lady who appreciates peace and quiet. It warms my heart to see them share a moment like this.
I have just come back from a few days in Swaledale. I was there researching locations for a workshop I’m going to put on later in the year and out of the 3 days there I managed to get just one walk in ‘favourable conditions’. (The weather was appalling, but we won’t dwell on that!) On the one and only walk I managed to get, (whilst it wasn’t bucketing it down), I also had two very excited, energetic kids in toe! I was giving Cathy some time off and left here peacefully recharging her mental batteries, reading in a cafe whilst we set off on an adventure.
Anyway I decided to set them the challenge of navigation and one armed with an OS map and the other with a compass, they were happy enough as I meandered through the buttercup filled fields snatching images as we went. This image was made ten munities into the walk, as I worked the location and toyed with a few different combinations of composition and waited for the light to move across the scene into a visually interesting position, I wasn’t aware of the developing kayos my two notice producing hyperactive kids were getting up to! Yes I should have been watching them, I should have let the photographic moment pass and accept that image making should sometimes come second, (any parent in my position will know the multitasking abilities you develop, half my brain was on the task at hand and half was listing for the signs of laughter change to arguing, or shrieking, or…or…) but anyway when the light became favourable I quickly made the exposure and hurried back to the walk where I found both my children laughing with passion as they attempted to catch the map blowing in the wind through the buttercup field! Oh the memory!
..spent many an hour staring out through old wavy glass windows like these at that B&B .. I mentioned before on another photo that I was ADD before being attention deficit was cool! I was the non-hyperactive 'day dreamer' type of ADD kid.. when I should have been doing homework ..or finishing a test I was often dreaming of being 'Tom Swift' or some other hero from one of my books.. or of being a Mountain Man..or trapper.. turns out I am shooter.. a photo shooter!
Taken at Kariba Safari Lodge, Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe.
On sentry duty.
Rock hyraxes are fairly common in most of sub-saharan Africa. We first met them in Kenya while staying at a Safari camp. Unbeknownst to us was that a resident population had taken up lodgings in the guests sleeping accommodations! Not having encountered them before we were quite alarmed as they kept waking us up during the night with their hyperactivity and loud cries!
It really was a wonderful morning ensconced down at this little cove. It isn't the best to get down to at the moment as the path is very overgrown and hidden by ferns but as I knew it was there somewhere I was OK.
Unlike most of my early mornings where I jump about in a slightly hyperactive manor trying out as many compositions as I can I relaxed and enjoyed the moments I spent down here. I'm glad I had my camera but in all honesty it would have been wonderful to just be there.
It took some persistence but I managed to get a reasonably sharp flight image of this hyperactive little guy as it launched from its perch.

Dunlin / calidris alpina. Frampton, Lincolnshire. 23/03/2
Plenty of Dunlin about on the flooded field, either viewed in small groups or a larger flock. Hyperactive where feeding and changing location was concerned. I managed to isolate this individual when it lagged behind a group.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
I took Evie and Olive to the field, it was empty, yay and muddy, damn.
I was trying to wear Olive out, she has been a hyperactive pain in the bum today, no peace unless she's in the kitchen lol.
Anyway, they had fun, Evie zoomed about and Olive ran her little legs off lol. I think they are getting better together. In the main video I had to stop filming in the middle as Evie had a nice poo 😊

Okay, what the heck, why not go retro/vintage with this one?! Even though I got a rather nice classic b&w development as well. 😭
I'm struggling a bit lately, with the b&w stuff. Nowadays I always do at least one false-color development, even e.g. when the light's no good and it's clear that I will go monochrome.
I feel, having a color image finished and then convert it gives me way more options than developing the source photos b&w before stitching. Almost too much! The infrared spectrum plus this high resolution panorama thing I'm doing provide a ton of contrast and details to the point where it's super easy to lose track and make images plain unnatural, kind of hyperactive or clinical devoid of mood, that is not really pleasant to look at.
I don't want to complain about too much possibilities though, it's good in a way cause it forces me to really think about what I like and what constitudes a "good" b&w image when there are plenty of means to go overboard and make it look "not good".
The original of this panorama consists of 30 individual photos and a trimmed equirectangular projection yielded a resolution of 20643 x 10819px ~223,3MP, which I then cropped to 8:5 aspect ratio and 15438 x 9649px ~149MP.

Another shot taken in the heat of the day (28C/86F) and the critter was hyperactive. Fortunately this beetle was more hungry than afraid, and I'm getting better at tracking moving subjects with the camera and had several frames to choose from. If you've ever wondered why I don't focus stack it's images like this one that are one of the reasons why.

Warblers! Migrants -- here one day and gone the next as they migrate southward. Very challenging shots as these birds were clearly hyperactive! Seemed like they really never sat still but just frequently paused 😉. Overcast, late afternoon and zoom lens. I love challenges! Anyway, both are a first for me.
Ferrets are among the animals I always see at the wildlife park but they are hyperactive and taking photos is almost impossible. This one was hungry and that was the only reason why it stood still for a moment and looked at me. The food bowls were empty and apparently the ferret hoped that I could change that lamentable fact. I couldn't but the keeper arrived soon and the ferret world was in order again.
Another very satisfying find from earlier this year! Just a shame I was unable to get any natural shots... I don't know about Hyperaspis, but it was certainly hyperactive!!
Please 'scuse the 'not so clean' nail and thumb tip...!!
Cramer Gutter - Shropshire (May 19)
If you come across a noisy, hyperactive little bird with bold white eyebrows, flicking its long tail as it hops from branch to branch, you may have spotted a Bewick’s Wren. These master vocalists belt out a string of short whistles, warbles, burrs, and trills to attract mates and defend their territory, or scold visitors with raspy calls. Bewick’s Wrens are still fairly common in much of western North America, but they have virtually disappeared from the East.

Another shot taken in the heat of the day (+28C/+86F) and the critter was hyperactive. Fortunately this beetle was more hungry than afraid, and I'm getting better at tracking moving subjects with the camera and had several frames to choose from. I don't focus stack and images like this one are one of the reasons why. I need to maintain the muscle memory that I've built up in order to photograph moving critters.

I love photographing these cute little birds. Their hyperactive movements present a challenge that's fun!
I was lucky to find this ibis in secluded area. The bird was not alarmed by my presence, but he/she was moving fast, like little birds I have trouble photographing.
One can see a duck calmly watching this hyperactive bird. Good for the size comparison.
White-faced Ibis / Ibis Amerykański (Plegadis chihi)
well, i bought a battery pack for my strobes as a b-day present, and was testing it out today. fun! except baxter (my grandma's hyperactive chocolate lab) kept getting fussy and wanting to mess around. hes still. anyways. i'm playing ketchup! cause i know i'm behind...
if you've got an advice/critque on editing, let me know! i know my tones can be somewhat repetitive.
The Studios, MediaCityUK, Salford Quays
Devised by Liverpool-based ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) Foundation, the Umbrella Project was launched on the 28th June inside the main foyer of The Studios, and celebrates the gifts, talents and employability of those with ADHD, autism and other neuro-developmental disorders. Every umbrella has been signed by a child stating ‘My Super Power is….’ as part of a wider education programme with participating schools in Merseyside and Salford in a dynamic twin city project and now the University Technical College at MediaCityUK and Oakwood Academy in Eccles.
It follows the phenomenal success of last year, when the Umbrella Project first appeared on Church Alley in Liverpool city centre becoming the most Instagrammed street in the city during the summer. As well as MediaCityUK, the art installation is also returning to Church Alley the same day.
Businesses in Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester are invited to get involved with the Umbrella Project by sponsoring an umbrella for just £100, which will buy a whole programme of support for families.
The installation is quite vivid and striking, even from across the North Bay and Lowry theatre, but with all the foyer lights on in the evening it lost a little of its impact, hence my colour-popped version to re-focus on the project.
Not the prettiest photo model but at least not one of the hyperactive types. I'm usually not fond of slugs but tolerate them if they don't threaten to take over my garden. If there are too many I collect them and take them to a wild meadow near my house. This one was a loner and allowed to stay.
"In deciduous woodlands, American Redstarts are fairly conspicuous compared to other small birds of the leafy canopy and subcanopy. They are seemingly hyperactive, repeatedly dashing through trees and bushes after unseen insects, or prancing along branches, rapidly spreading and closing its black-and-yellow or black-and-orange tail. Males sing their sweet, explosive songs frequently during spring and early summer. American Redstarts are common spring and fall migrants in the East. It is a later spring migrant (arriving in May in much of the U.S. and Canada) and a mid-season fall migrant (September-early October)."
Another one who doesn't like the heat but is terribly bored when he stays at home during the day. Sethi compensates that in the night when he is hyperactive and causes havoc among the mice population. There are moments when my sister is looking forward to winter as cold weather usually slows him down a bit. He hates getting cold and wet feet even more than melting in the summer heat.
another picture i took for sandy.
this is Harry, he's such an adorable kitty. unfortunately he was born deaf. i didn't realize he was deaf until last week, when i was refilling his food and water bowls. i thought something was wrong with him, because he wouldn't respond to the cage door opening at all; later that day i found out he was deaf. however when Harry's awake, he's one heck of a hyperactive kitty.
i would've adopted him, but ranger hates cats, and i mean really really really badly.
and yes, this image consists of 2 blended images.
These birds occasionally visit our place from the rainforest gully in the National Park behind us but I have never managed a satisfactory pic. of this hyperactive bird. This one was just 100m from the Pacific Ocean at Oaky Beach in the Murramarang National Park, south of Durras Lake. These are summer migrants to NSW and Victoria, spending the winter north in Queensland.
It's always Show Time for the Grey Fantail. They delight in darting around visitors to their neighbourhood - even photographers. They probably hope we'll scare up some insects for them to catch in flight. Lots of hyperactive fluttering and tail-fanning.
I went to my sister in law's house to photograph the Bumblebees in her Lavender. She lives in the mountains above Itri, Italy so I got there at 5:30 in the morning hoping I could photograph them before they got active. Unfortunately it was 20C (68F) and they were pretty much hyperactive. I found a few that were having a tough time getting their metabolism going but they didn't give me much time to shoot. Due to the pandemic I wasn't able to go to her place earlier in the year.
