    "Photography & PhotoArt"

    I dedicate this Album of Favorites..
    "To All Photographers,& PhotoArtist" who have Inspired, & encouraged me over the years.
    Thank you!! ♥♥♥(((hugs)))♥♥♥ Marilyn

    If a camera captures a scene, the photographer immortalizes a moment."

    All About Hummingbirds

    Hummingbirds are very tiny birds.. smallest ones are only 2 1/4 inchs.. They can beat their wings up to 80 times per second. They can move their wings up, down, forward, and back, and in a figure 8. They can hover in mid air...
    Their heart can beat up to 1,000 beats per second.
    I don't think they know how tiny they are.. They are brutal fighters. I have seen them chase, and slam into many birds much bigger than themselves.. even a Vulture.

    Their flight speed is about 25 miles per hour.
    Hold a small coin in your hand.. and that is about what a hummer weighs.
    Hummers are perching birds.. They do not walk
    (I am in the process of identification if you happen to know the breed of any.. please let me know.)

    What is a Lightroom?
    (I read somewhere it was put something like this)
    .. In the film days a "dark room" was used to develop film, and adjust it's finished product.
    Now a days- we use a "Lightroom"- from a photo program to achieve the desired results.
