Slow Motion Hummingbirds 5 Canon HD+High Speed Casio EX-F1

A montage of HD and high speed footage showing these fascinating little birds from 1/4 to 1/40 actual (realtime) speed. Cameras placed in a number of different angles give some new perspectives, and a top-down angle shows the bird lapping-up the nectar with what appears to be a forked tongue! Who knew? :-)

Some great chases and flying scenes round out this video. HD semi-slow-motion (1/4 realtime) video shot with a Canon HF100, Slow motion (1/10 - 1/40 realtime) lower res footage shot with a Casio EX-F1.

As it turns out, the first half of this video, which was shot with a Canon HF100 HD camcorder and high-speed shutter, makes it LOOK like the wings are sometimes bending and beating alternately, but that is in fact an effect of the CMOS scan and shutter. The last half of this video (from 1:33 on) was filmed with a Casio EX-F1 high speed/slow motion camera, and shows the wing movement more accurately - they do indeed beat in parallel rather than alternately. :-)

Absolutely astounding video. While typing this listening for the 10th time. Watched the other 9. Video part is superb. The song, WOW!!! When I leave here I am checking into that. I have watched a lot of YT. This has to be some of the best audio I have heard. The Sennheisers just beat me up. Thanks JC for the great transcribe. The slow mo at the end is really cool.

@johnabcs1 They are definitely odd and amazing little birds - even more so when slowed down to see them in detail :-) Thanks for checking it out!

[Booger6995]

@jcmegabyte By the way. This video does wonders. Any time my grand daughter starts fussing I put this on my cell phone. She instantly is done with the crying and mesmerized for 3 minutes. Bet you didn't know it was a baby sitting video too huh. Hope you have a great New Year.
