... at a feeder.
Of course, it is a horrid photo, covered with dust highlights, dirt on the window, out of control contre jour, shot from inside my front room.
BUT I CAUGHT A HUMMINGBIRD HOVERING! With a Konica S III.
Big Dawg, I know you are very jealous ... Laughing Laughing Laughing

Shocked Laughing I don't know what to say...you could say the dirt and dust was coming from the wind off the humming birds wings???

Nah, just tell the truth: strongly backlit dust and other detritus on the window exterior.
No, that's not it. It's. uh, bokeh! Yeah, that's it, bokeh!

That lens really does have some jewel-like bokeh ...

Have you cleaned the window yet in anticipation of the next shot?? Laughing

No, but that is a good idea.
I cleaned the window best I could. It has some ancient crud on the pane, perhaps glue from when vinyl bumpers were fitted I don't know how many years ago. That would not come off.

And two hummers buzzed my head while I was cleaning ... Shocked Very Happy
