What It Takes to Film Hummingbirds in Slow Motion | National Geographic


[Music]
now the work that I’m most proud of is a
result of a 10-year long collaboration
with a scientist who studies
hummingbirds this is a story on what we
have learned about hummingbirds thanks
to modern science
the most fun I had working on this
project was getting to point the
high-speed camera at hummingbirds to
show these discoveries in a new way

we are in the lab of Chris Clark at UC
Riverside and what we’ve got here is a
cage that’s recreating an experiment and
it’s trying to look at how hummingbirds
deal with rain that we’re using this
fancy top-of-the-line
complex 4k high-speed camera try to film
this hummingbird at 1,000 frames a
second to see how it’s going to deal
with this
all these rain droplets and what its
gonna do the Friday zone and it is that
sense of wonder and that joy of
discovery that drew me to photography
and it is those feelings I hope to spark
another
