My best shot of a hummer is an instance of divine intervention. I was shooting a flower against the sky and barely noticed a darkness that was not there an instant before. Behold, when pixel peeping, there was the humming bird. Not as sharp as i would have wanted it, but perfectly composed.
Someone once asked me "would you rather be luck or smart". Well that's a no brainer. :)
(I am not saying you are not smart please don't think that, I'm just saying good luck can return great results).

Sometimes luck will be a lady. Got this picture after the eagle flew in front of my car. I only had the cell phone so I took some shots to prove what I had seen. Then I drove home about a mile away grabbed my camera and went back. The bird was still in the tree. Luck was my lady that afternoon!
Photographs are a combination of planning, skill and (good) luck. The % of each element can vary.

Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, from Sloppy Seconds. Great album! Many of their songs were penned by the great (sic) Shel Silverstein. I had the pleasure of MC'ing one of their concerts, many years ago!

In my younger days (much!) I put an FM radio station on the air and was one of the announcers as well. I (we, the station) got in so much trouble for playing 2 songs by Dr. Hook, that are nothing today, but back then...Oh Boy!!
They were "Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love The Most" and "Hey Lady Godiva".
I gotta say one thing about Hook and the Medicine Show, they sure threw 1 hell of a post show party. (One of the perks of MC'ing concerts was we got invited to the parties!)

I'm very consistent with a ratio of 10:1 for birds. I process 1 out every 10 captures and for every 10 processed 1 is worth a second look.
