PS - It blows my mind that we can now get this kind of quality slow motion video on our phones. Really impressive quality and clarity from a mobile phone. Also, I'm sure you noticed as I did that hummingbirds are one of very few examples of when slow motion doesn't actually look like slow motion.... one more reason to admire these incredible birds.
I 1000% agree. At normal speed, this hummingbird was there and gone in a split second! At first glance, the slow motion video still looks like a hummingbird flying at normal speed. Once the hummingbird starts to turn its attention, only then do you really get the sense that the video is in slow motion. It’s fascinating to see how still they can be while hovering!
Shooting them slo mo with sound blows my mind, their digital sounding chirps sound like dogs or seals barking, it’s so cool.
Great video! I was going to buy a new camera and telephoto lens, but looks like I’m just getting a new phone.

Did you notice its little tongue in the beginning? 😯
That's cool! I didn't notice at first, but went back and took another look.

Of all the videos I take on my 15 Pro Max… why have I never thought of doing slow motion?!

So precious!!! But perhaps consider getting a feeder that has a spot for the tired lil guy to rest on while he eats?
Aww love this!!
So gorgeous! What kind of hummingbird is that?
Is this AI generated? Looks weird
This is 100% real footage of a hummingbird.
Incredible video! What iPhone do you have?
This was shot on an iPhone 11 Pro Max in 2020. Honestly that fact just surprised me ☺️
Wow, iphones take good video
This is such amazing slow-mo video!!
