2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Rofus Hummingbird, Wavecrest Open Reserve, United States of America
"Look no hands"

Species: Rofus Hummingbird | Location: Wavecrest Open Reserve, United States of America

Hummingbirds tend to come back to the same perch again and again. Every 4 minutes or so he would come back. Between the gaps I inched closer with the tripod. I wanted a shot that was something a little more interesting than another hummingbird perched on a branch. This little Rofus finally obliged.

About The Photographer

Started photography when I bought a half decent camera for a safari in Kenya. Got the bug there and just kept going. I much prefer to photograph wildlife than any other subject.
