Finally….a Hummingbird!
My first sighting of the summer. It was raining and of course, my camera was no where near, when the hummingbird appeared. And then he was gone. When he returned, about 20 minutes later, I was ready. No fancy setup. Handheld my camera and shot through the window. A few quick frames and he was gone again. Checking my birding book, this is an immature female Ruby-throated Hummingbird. If that’s not correct, please let me know.

The End of Kodachrome
The Afghan Girl by Steve McCurry
Probably one of the most recognized National Geographic Magazine covers is “The Afghan Girl” from 1985. The photographer is Steve McCurry. The film is Kodachrome. Kodachrome was the favorite of many professionals (personally, I preferred Fujichrome back in the day), and so it was a sad day when Kodak decided to discontinue the film last year. Kodak gave the last roll of Kodachrome ever produced to Steve McCurry. The images on this last roll are being kept secret for now. National Geographic is planning the big reveal in an upcoming documentary. Listen to the story here.
