Today’s featured photo is by the talented Clint Ferrara.

By following Photofocus over the years I learned to be an accomplished bird photographer.
This macro was taken on a fern in my backyard. Handheld. I followed this little guy around for about an hour taking shots of his travels. When he came over the top of the fern I knew I had the shot.

An amazing shot. Handheld – really. Out of interest, with an hour on the task, did you not consider getting your tripod out?
tripod would have been nice but I was almost on my back looking up at this time. the tripod was on the ground next to me. I raised the iso so I could get a faster shutter speed.
Good answer. Congratulations for nailing it under such conditions
