[font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif]The Anna Hummingbird is one of the most challenging birds to photograph successfully. The male does not have an iridescent gorget as the other hummers. These guys have an iridescent HELMET, so the angle of light has to be unique so ALL the iridescent feathers of that helmet will reflect the intense red-purple-vermillion color, a slight movement of the head messes with this, and then portions became plain black. Fortunately, I found this tame male inside the aviary of the Ariz[font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif]ona-Desert-Museum in Tucson. I spent the whole afternoon taking more than 3000 pictures of this guy until I obtained this. While sitting on a bench reviewing the images on my laptop, this one popped out, and I was so excited that began to jump up and down crying hysterically as if having micro-orgasms of happiness that I involuntarily became very loud shouting in Spanish.[/font][/font]
[font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif][font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif]A nearby couple was so annoyed that began to give me dirty looks commanding me to be quiet, My dopamine was so high that I then accused them of being white supremacists and other ugly things that I am now ashamed. When I reached for my tripod they left scared. Of course, I am not proud of the above; I imagined being as a psychotic monkey jumping crazily.[/font] [font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif]I am very sorry, and I apologize to them if they ever happen to see this post.[/font][/font] Juan E.
