Photographer Celebrates Rainbow Hummingbird Wings in Beautiful Bird Book

Can you describe the moment that you first noticed the “hummingbird rainbows?”

I first discovered the natural rainbow effect in the hummingbird wings when I was making the film The Dance of Time in 2011. The opening sequence of the film is a hummingbird sequence of rainbows appearing in the wings. The film went on to win 10 awards in international film festivals. After I filmed the hummingbirds against the Sun, it wasn't until the video was slowed down to 5% that the secret was revealed.
