This is an older feature I have resurrected.  Each week, I will highlight a gallery of superb bird photography by a professional photographer.  I am hoping to provide inspiration both for eco-travel and for us to improve our photography skills.

This week, I am showcasing the gallery of Ralph Paonessa.  I was attracted to his hummingbird photos.  These tiny little flying jewels are some of the most difficult birds to photograph, especially in motion!  Ralph has it all figured out and not only does he have some beautiful galleries, he also has some tips to help us try to photograph hummingbirds.  I wish I had seen them before I went to Central America!  His work is copyrighted so please do enjoy them on his website!
