Levitation
Uploaded: April 26, 2017 10:14:44 | Entered: April 26, 2017 10:19:25
Shot on a tripod and using a wireless shutter release. The camera was just 4 feet away from the birdhouse - but I was about 50 feet away relaxing in a portable chair.
There are 4 little ones in the nest, so there's a constant flurry of activity with the female and male bringing a variety of insects to the little ones.
1/2000-sec, f/3.5, ISO 800, 100mm macro f/2.8
