Editor's note: Whenever I see a hummingbird, I always want to shoot a low depth of field photograph of it, but I've never been able to.

One of the things I often come across when looking for interesting photography to tweet about is static Flickr image URLs. People seem to like posting these images without linking back to their original Flickr pages, while I prefer linking to Flickr pages so the photographer can get the credit for the photo.

It seems like more and more newspapers are launching photoblogs on their websites. It's an awesome idea, since each of them has a constant stream of high quality work pouring in from their photojournalists. Keeping up with these photoblogs is great for both getting your daily dose of photographic inspiration, and for keeping up with the current events happening around the world.
