[Leica] IMG: look at all the dancing creatures in my back yard

[abridge at mac.com (Adam Bridge)]

Okay, they aren?t dancing and some aren?t creatures.

I wanted to finally get a few snaps of hummingbirds so I put the Leitz 180mm 
f4.0 R lens with 2X APO telex tender on my Fuji X-T1 (for the added crop 
factor) and sat myself down to wait. And made images to keep myself occupied.

I like the very dark background in this shot even though it?s only in 
moderate shade:

The subtle color in this zinnia was nicely rendered:

And this butterfly at the moment of lift-off:

It?s a bit difficult to get bird photos when one?s cat is lurking nearby, 
however. Thanks Mikey!

But eventually one did drop by:

and was head-deep into one of the flowers:

Not in Doug?s league, a bit soft, but workable and fun to have the camera at 
hand. All shot on a tripod.

Comments/suggestions welcome.
