Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird by Adam Rainoff
Via Flickr:
In the serene setting of Villa Verde, near the entrance of Celaque National Park in Honduras, I had the privilege of photographing the Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird (Tilmatura dupontii). The challenge of capturing this dynamic creature, known for its fleeting movements and stunning iridescent plumage, was an exhilarating experience. The bird's vibrant greens and blues stood out brilliantly against the lush backdrop, a testament to the rich biodiversity of the region. From a technical standpoint, this shot required a balance of patience and quick reflexes. I used a fast shutter speed to freeze the bird's rapid motion, coupled with a wide aperture to ensure a sharp focus on the hummingbird while softly blurring the background. This technique helped in highlighting the delicate details of the bird's feathers and its graceful poise. To fellow photographers, this image represents not just the beauty of wildlife photography, but also the satisfying challenge it presents in capturing nature's fleeting moments. ©2022 Adam Rainoff

the queen of ravens hears you weeping in her forest and approaches. she offers her wisdom, but only to those who answer her question, spoken on tongues of dead leaves and dry wind: what becomes of those who steal?

“Si l’on ne veut pas être un jouet dans les mains de n’importe quel gamin, et la risée de n’importe quel fou, il faut commencer par appliquer cette règle : "Ne pas se déboutonner !" Ce qu’un homme de ma sorte pense et ressent, ne ressemble en rien à ce qu’eux pensent et ressentent. C’est pourquoi il me sied de ne jamais sortir de mon renfermement. Le ton juste vis-à-vis d’eux, c’est l’ironie. Mais une ironie dénuée de la moindre affectation, placide, ne se trahissant en rien. Il ne faut pas qu’elle vise directement la personne avec qui l’on parle. Je considère à chaque fois comme une victoire personnelle de ne pas avoir dérogé à ce ton. Il faut s’habituer à absolument tout entendre, même les choses les plus insensées, avec une parfaite placidité, tout en considérant l’insignifiance de la personne qui parle et de son opinion, et en se gardant de toute polémique.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, L’art de se connaître soi-même, trad. Laurent Ferec.
