Really interesting footage of colorful hummingbirds hunting and feeding in slow motion and HD. This installment features some amazingly colorful irridescent males of several species; Allen's, Black-Chinned, and Anna's hummingbirds, up close and with their head-dresses all lit up, as well as some very cool shots of females hunting (and catching!) small bugs in mid-air!
HD footage shot with a Canon HF100 HD camcorder (note the strange wing bending effects are an artifact of the HD camera's high speed shutter, NOT the birds' wings themselves). Slow motion footage filmed with a Casio EX-F1 high speed camera at 300 and 600fps rates.
The soundtrack is "Intro" from the "Random" CD by Technician (yours truly), album and single track available on iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/random/id808437946 and CDBaby: store.cdbaby.com/cd/technician12 Full artist discography and CDs available at HTTP://technician.jcmdi.com
