        This is the most fantastic photograph and I had to share it with everyone on behalf of Raymond Barlow who shared it publicly on Google+

            Oh dear @tersha – seems that google are attempting to take over the world! Anyway, I found him on Flickr for you. If you don’t already know him, have a look at his other photographs too – personally I think his work is astounding Fiery-throated Hummingbirds

              Nice! These kind of pics usually come from mega expensive prime lenses but this one was taken with a zoom lens – and at 3,200 ISO! It gives me hope…

              Also interesting to see that he could successfully freeze these wirring wings at 1/2000s. I would have thought it’s too slow.

              We can learn from his example re. a little story & exif data going with the pic. I’ve stopped counting how many times someone plonked a pic into the ST without anything else and my first thought is ‘WTF…?’ (OK, without the ‘F’ – it’s not my style), LOL!
