Sanford explained in his photo submission that he is a landscape photographer with an interest in eastern North Carolina, but will occasionally photograph wildlife, especially birds. He said that hummingbirds are particularly challenging to photograph because of their sudden and extremely fast movements.
“I purchased a hummingbird feeder hoping that these beautiful creatures would visit my yard. Six weeks after installing the feeder, hummingbirds started to occasionally visit. In the last week, the visits increased,” he said.
