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.

Habitat: Occurs in forests, shrublands, parks, gardens, farmlands, and urban areas
Not an easy bird to photograph due to its small size and hyperactive/jump around behaviour. My camera autofocus could not keep up with its ultrasonic movement.. haha!
Sociable little yellowish bird. Very similar in appearance to other white-eyes; note the yellow band running down the center of the breast and belly, connecting the throat with the vent. In areas of overlap with similar-looking subspecies of Indian and Swinhoe’s White-eye, identification may be very difficult; best separated by range and habitat. Roves about in active, noisy flocks in hill and sub-montane forests and forest edges. Gives a sweet, buzzy “tsee, tsee”, as well as higher, more metallic short whistles.
There are four subspecies:
1) Z. a. auriventer (Hume, 1878) – southeast Myanmar (Tenasserim Hills)
2) Z. a. wetmorei (Deignan, 1943) – south Thailand, north Malay Peninsula
3) Z. a. tahanensis (Ogilvie-Grant, 1906) – central and south Malay Peninsula
4) Z. a. medius Robinson & Kloss, 1923 – Borneo
5) Zosterops simplex (Swinhoe, 1861)- east China, north Vietnam, the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo.

While I was sitting down on the couch and thinking about what I was going to shoot for my "Pi" day shot, Mushu, who is the world's most hyperactive pug, jumped up onto the couch and snuggled up to me. There was nothing that provoked it (usually, she's motivated by food or anything that remotely looks like edible food). She just wanted to get scratched and spend time with me.
So I couldn't resist this shot.
I used to really over-think my 365 photos, but now I let them flow naturally to me. Keep your eyes open and photos will present themselves to you.
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.

Some lovely friends gave me a massive DVD of bellydance music for my birthday - whoot!
I tried for a mini session with my 4 year old Joel. What a disaster. I'd almost given up on the hyperactive flea in a bottle, until he layed down on the backdrop to watch TV for all of 2 minutes.
I didn't stop snapping and managed to get ONE of him looking at me! *sigh* It's a good one though!

We had a lot of fun watching this very small bird dive for impressively long lengths of time and resurface quite a distance away. We weren't sure what it was and thought it was some sort of grebe possibly. A few shots later and a little research and I realised I had captured a NZ Dabchick. I don't recall seeing these on the lagoon previously but given their size and speed they may well have been there! As for some scale, the water droplets on its back show the small size of this bird. They've got quite amazing eyes too!
At about half the size of a mallard duck (28cm long, 230g), the dabchick (weweia) often goes unnoticed when living among other waterfowl, but their hyperactive nature sets them apart from other birds.
Conservation status: Endemic, classified as ‘recovering’.
Features: Dabchicks are dark brown-black on the upper parts and paler on the underside. The head is dark and glossy, streaked with fine swept-back silvery feathers. During the breeding season, the chest and neck front turn a beautiful rich, rufous red. Both sexes are alike, but juveniles have black and white striped markings on the head and neck. Chicks also ride on the parents’ backs for the first three weeks.
Call: Adults give short chattering calls during the breeding season and occasionally when alarmed.
Nesting: They’re rather unique in that they breed year-round. Prior to mating, a pair will indulge in elaborate courtship dances involving preening, rearing, head-turning, shaking and displays of diving. Nests are a loose pile of aquatic vegetation anchored to pond sides or in a small cave tucked into reeds. Incubation and rearing is carried out by both parents until the young are independent at 70 days.
Diet: Invertebrates, such as insects and their larvae, are either pecked from the water’s surface or caught in mid air. They dive underwater to forage for small freshwater fish, crayfish, shellfish and leeches.
Bird spotting tip: Dabchicks prefer small, shallow, freshwater lakes and ponds or sheltered coves and bays of larger lakes. They prefer dense vegetation for security and nesting. Distribution is patchy, but widespread in the North Island. It was considered extinct in the South Island in the 1940s, however, in 2012 a pair began breeding in Takaka and later in Marlborough.
Feathery facts: A dabchick can hold its breath for 40 seconds and reach a depth of four metres.

A rare photo of him sitting in the entry. Too hyperactive my handsome neighbor ...
I don't see him a lot now: (
I don't take him anymore either, it is full of fleas poor!

I keep finding myself going back to my trip to Aviemore when I watched the Siberian Husky sled trials. I have a couple of thousand images of dog pulling sleds, or rather trikes because we didn't have the right kind of snow, but I find those pics are only really interesting to mushers that are in them. I suppose you don’t get to see yourself in action all that often.
I just love the images when the dogs are on their own so I guess I’m a sucker for a good pet portrait.
This young dog had been waiting patiently for his turn watching the snow fall when I think he hit his limit and started looking for somebody to play with. I of course encouraged him to run around daft much to the displeasure of his owner. I suppose it’s the equivalent to feeding sugar to a hyperactive child. He was so cute though I couldn't help myself even if I did get a nasty stare from ‘Dad‘ for my efforts.

Shooting a hyperactive beetle feeding on Poppy pollen is probably the most technically challenging macro photography that I've done to date. Lots of deleted frames.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (about 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
... como yo, que no puedo con el alma... Entre el calor que hace, y lo hiperactivos que están estos tres, no me tengo en pie! Bueno, ya estamos a miércoles, ya no queda nada para el finde!!
... just like me, I'm totally exhausted... In this hot weather and with my "hyperactive" kids, I can hardly stand! Well, it's Wednesday, the weekend is just around the corner!!
It's way too hot to be out chasing hyperactive critters, so I braved the heat long enough to photograph their food. Here's a Moss Rose flower (Portulaca grandiflora) shot at twice life size.

This hyperactive female Cat is very hard to stop. She drives the owner nuts as she wants to explore the world. She is adorable though. For some unknown reason, camera data is not showing. The photo was done with a Lumix FZ-200.
Oregano is a common species of Origanum, a genus of the mint family. It is native to temperate western and southwestern Eurasia and the Mediterranean region. Oregano is a perennial herb, growing from 20–80 cm tall, with opposite leaves 1–4 cm long. From the greek, it means "joy of the mountain".

I even feared he would emerge into the hydrohide. And that could be a problem because I wouldn't have minimum focus distance :-)
In spite of the great proximity I didn't have many chances with this hyperactive guy. Whenever I get it to frame, immediately after it has emerged, it had already submerged again.

September may be the month for the warblers, but as soon as October hits, it's all about the kinglets for me. These little, hyperactive characters invade my yard in tiny little bunches every fall, peaking in October, Today, there were about five Ruby-crowns present, and they were curious as usual; their golden-crowned cousins were a bit more retiring, but similarly visible at times.

From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
Small even by nuthatch standards, Pygmy Nuthatches are tiny bundles of hyperactive energy that climb up and down ponderosa pines giving rubber-ducky calls to their flockmates. Their buffy-white underparts set off a crisp brown head, slate-gray back, and sharp, straight bill. Pygmy Nuthatches breed in large extended-family groups, which is one reason why you’ll often see a half-dozen at a time. Look for them in open forests of older ponderosa pines across the West.
Coal Tit / periparus ater. Brocton, Staffordshire. 10/01/16.
Love how Coal Tits are the more reticent visitors at any food fest! They never seem to hang about on show but make a direct 'in-flight', grab something and zip away again in the blink of an eye.
I was pleased when this one landed so accommodatingly for a nano second and even more pleased when I found, later, it was in focus!
The hyperactive flock of redpolls that took over the yard about a month ago, has grown to an enormous size - and has an appetite to match! I can't seem to keep the thistle feeders full enough! Kabekona Lake, Hubbard, Laporte, MN.
It's never easy to take photos of the silver foxes at the wildlife park, they are even more hyperactive than their red cousins. On my last visit the foggy weather and low light didn't make it any better. The fox in this shot is the male who was probably wondering why the brown bears always get their breakfast before he does.
I'm not sure what's worse for a small insect or other invertebrate- the hyperactive and wing-flicking style of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, the hyperactive and acrobatic style of the Golden-crowned Kinglet, or the hyperactive and tail-flicking style of the gnatcatcher. A synonym for each one is complete and utter domination, anyway, so I guess it doesn't really matter. Right? Right.

Good to have three dogs again! Zara, Rosie and Tiffany are getting on OK . R & T find Zara a bit hyperactive but are fairly tolerant!
When we knew we were getting our wee puppy Asha I thought this solid pine blanket box would be the perfect bed for her to put her in to keep her safe especially during the night. I thought it was a lot friendlier looking than a crate which always reminds me of a cage. We placed it along the floor to ceiling window in our living room so Asha could clearly see us and see outside as well. I thought it was just perfect.
In one of my last pictures I told of how when we brought Asha home the first thing she did was go over to a rubber pig and grab it in her mouth and started swinging it from side to side with force. This is the poor little pig that puppy Asha attacked for no reason at all and eventually shook it to shreds over time. This is day one when we brought Asha home. Asha was just at home from the very first minute we put her down on the floor to explore.
When night time came we put Asha in the blanket box and set off to bed, my Dad was staying up. We had just went out of the door when puppy Asha seeing us leave jumped out of the box which was unexpected as my friend kept her puppy in a potato crisp box when she first got him at first and he never got out of that. No problem I thought as the blanket box had a lid. A solid heavy lattice lid so I placed wee Asha in her box again and put the lid on it and proceeded quite happily to bed again. About 5 minutes later I heard my Dad yell my name and I rushed in, how Asha did it I don't know but puppy Asha was out of the box. She must have climbed up and pushed the lid up with her head and climbed out. No problem I thought, I'll put a heavy object on the lid so Asha wouldn't be able to to lift the lid off to jump out. So I put wee Asha in the box again and put the lid on and placed a heavy object on top of the lid and again proceeded to go to bed. About 10 minutes later I heard my Dad calling me again and I rushed in and puppy Asha was out of the box. Now I was stumped, I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to put anything heavier on the lid again in case Asha would hurt herself trying to get the lid off or move it enough for her to climb out. Luckily my Mum isn't a good sleeper so she decided to sleep in the living room with Asha to keep her company. Asha was quite happy to sleep in her box with no lid on as long as there was somebody in the living room with her.
My Dad thought this was very funny and kept calling Asha Houdini for ages after. Asha was a hyperactive puppy and was just exploring non stop. We were exhausted following her around to make sure she didn't harm herself as she was only 7 weeks old. My Sister's friend said she had the perfect solution. She said she kept her puppy in a child's playpen and she would guarantee us that Asha would never be able to climb out of this as her puppy never did and was a lot older than Asha. We just wanted something in the living room to place Asha in so we could go about our business and not having to follow a wee hyperactive pup around non stop. We thought this play pen would be perfect and my Sister's friend had agreed to lend it to us. So we set this up in the living room along the window again and placed Asha in it. Asha seemed really happy to be in it especially when we placed all her toys in the playpen, she happily stayed there for around a hour and never even made an attept to get out. My Mum,Sister and I were elated to eventually get some peace and we all got up together to go into the kitchen to prepare lunch happy not having a wee pup under our feet. We just walked into the kitchen and I heard a noise. I said to myself , "No..it can't be" and I turned around and there was wee puppy Asha behind us. Our happiness at finding a solution to get some peace was short lived. My friend's guarantee that Asha would never get out of this playpen was so terribly wrong.
We decided the best thing to do was to let Asha have the free roam of the living room at night while we were in bed. We just made sure there was nothing in the living room that she could harm herself on. All electrical appliances unplugged etc. Luckily my Dad stayed up late and my Mum was a early riser so Asha didn't have to spend long in the living room by her self.
I just wanted to share this wee memory of our little wee Miss Houdini...
We are not seeing a lot of these diminutive winter residents in the Oklahoma Cross Timbers. Hopefully, we can locate the territories of a few more pairs to reliably get photos. The fun is just beginning when you find one! They are hyperactive and frustrating to photograph.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
This is a female Annas Hummingbird I photographed several weeks ago while practicing a new lighting setup that I have been working on for photographing these colorful hyperactive birds.The concept is to photograph the birds in the shade, using at least 5 strobes pointed at the bird, and one strobe pointed at the painted background. The goal is to provide even light on the bird, and a non distracting background.
I learned the lighting from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum 0f 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background (which my wife painted), and photograph the birds in the shade so that you don't have to overpower the sunlight. When you use multiple strobes on a subject in the shade you can use lower power settings for each flash which results in shorter flash durations which means it freezes the wing blur. I used 6 Yongnuo strobes because I wanted to use identical manual power output for each flash . One strobe was pointed at the background, one was underneath the feeder, and the other 4 strobes surrounded the feeder. The strobes were all at under 1/16th power, in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N., and you can see the EXIF info on the side. This method is the only way that I've been able to photograph one of these birds with little, or no, wing blur. Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.
Google ist hyperaktiv! Vielleicht habe ich aber auch nur besonders viel Fotos mit dem Smartphone geschossen damals, die Google gesichert hat und jetzt präsentiert! Das Bild entstand morgens gegen 7 Uhr am menschenleeren Strand - die selbstgebaute Bank ist schon ein Hit. Getestet habe ich sie aber nicht...
Google is hyperactive! But maybe I just took a lot of photos with my smartphone back then, which Google saved and is now three years later presenting! The picture was taken at around 7 a.m. on the deserted beach - the self-made bench is a hit. I haven't tested them though...

A fine day in October for a hike to the Madeloc tower and the faboulous vista, here captured in a stitch of 2 photos.
In the left the lower summit with the fortification Fort St. Elme ( planned by the famous and hyperactive Vauban). Then to the middle the small deep water harbour of Port Vendres. To the right again another military fortification just over the lighthouse at Cape Bear - before we ends up in Banyuls Sur Mer in the right of the photo.
You can also see many vinyard tracks in the hills down towards the sea.

Shooting a hyperactive Soldier Beetle feeding on Poppy pollen is probably the most technically challenging macro photography that I've done to date. Lots of deleted frames. Future note to self: Do a study of the critters that feed in Poppies next year starting in May. Stay at about 2 to 2.5x but possibly change the ISO to 200 and the Fstop to 16. A little extra noise and diffraction is better than not getting enough depth or having enough stopping power.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (about 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
The night of Sakrain is one such example. Poush Shankranti - the occasion that marks the end of the Bengali month, Poush - is. celebrated through the Sakrain festival. Dates of the event vary, according to different localities. This year, the occasion will be celebrated in Dhaka on 14 and 15 January.
But the festival doesn't stop as the sun.
The entire 'moholla' seemed to transform itself into an open-air nightclub. Beams of light, in red, yellow, blue and every other colour there is, moved about amongst the houses. Beautiful fireworks very often illuminated fragments of the night sky.
Festivals and fire go hand in hand, it seems. So, in addition to the strobe lights, there was also the warm and ravishing glow of fire. From the rooftop, I could see a silhouette of a man whirling a couple of fiery strings. Meanwhile, ravishing flames were brought out from the mouths of the daredevils.
The night ended after having a lot of fun and eating an uncountable amount of sweets.
I went home, with a brain hyperactive from the overdose of sugar; numb ears, from the loud music; a hoarse voice, from shouting amidst the loud music and the equally loud crowd; but also, with a happy heart, because of the beautiful vibe of Sakrain.
Had a great time watching these incredibly cute and hyperactive little animals. They took a while to come in but it was well worth waiting for once they did.
I have added a few shots of my trip on my website:
