If you're ever looking for a challenge, try photographing hummingbirds in flight with a manual focus lens! :D I didn't set out to shoot hummingbirds with my Samyang 135mm, but when I saw a bunch of them swarming around the feeders, I decided, "Why not?" Thankfully, "catch in focus" (Pentax's term for trap focus) did most of the work. I just held down the shutter.

Thanks to all for your kind comments and faves and for your daily inspiration!

Or cultural meeting point. Sarajevo is a beautful town in which the architecture style changes drastically from one corner to the next. In this photo there is a part of the Old Orthodox Church, and a builiding on a main boulevard dating from the times of the Austro-Hungarian occupation.
