Santa surrogate showing an eagle eye in searching for sweet, superior, splendid, sterling and super-swell children of all ages.
Thanks for the visit, I hope you and yours have an enjoyable day ... and ... yes, I know the eye is not as sharp as it should be, I don't have an eagle eye for getting anything exactly right these days .... just ask my wife :-)

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Alas, the "Rock Island" engine was supposed to pull the Nickel Plate steam back to Joliet, but it broke down earlier int he week, Even so, this sharp Metra engine makes me wish that METRA could use THESE bi-level cars instead of the ones they have now. But that's just me...
I took this picture at my sister's house where she always has at least two feeders out and attracts large quantities of hummingbirds.
Lighting stuff: I learned the lighting that I used here from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum of 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background, 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. The backdrop is a painting my wife did for this purpose. 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 around 1/32nd 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. I've finally learned to pre-focus on a spot near the feeder, using Live View, so that the birds are usually all in focus. I can then sit farther away from the feeder and trigger the strobes and the camera remotely. Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used on that particular day.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.

With his bristly black mustache, stylish hat, and his trusty revolver by his side, this sharp-shootin' desert succulent plant was unstoppable in his day.
Theme was fusion, sub-theme was Western.

I decided I'm going to start posting my shots in the morning. Since the weather is becoming nice, I want to spend my afternoons after work getting out to get some pics. In the past, I would go out and feel rushed when I got home to comment and post, so I think this is a good solution. It seemed to work good yesterday, so that is probably what I will do from now on.
This is Sharp-lobed Hepatica. I didn't get a shot I really liked of this species last year, so waited a whole year to get another chance. I was happy with the outcome of this one. :^)
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :^)
The scientific name for this species is: Hepatica nobilis.
