A Mesmerizing Look at Hummingbirds in Flight

MASTERS OF FLIGHT
When it comes to aerodynamics, hummingbirds are fine‑tuned machines.

VIDEOS BY ANAND VARMA
Using a high-speed, high-resolution camera, photographer Anand Varma captures what the naked eye can’t see—the breathtaking maneuvers of a hummingbird in flight. Varma teamed up with scientists studying the biology of hummingbirds to reveal the secrets behind these captivating creatures.

An Anna’s hummingbird drinks artificial nectar from a glass vessel. The bird’s forked tongue makes a sipping motion up to 15 times a second.

Letting hummingbirds loose in wind tunnels allows researchers to probe the mechanics of flight at airspeeds of up to 35 miles an hour. A fog of water vapor makes the wind movement visible.

100 FLAPS/SEC

The wings of some species flap up to a hundred times per second.
A hummingbird shakes off rain the same way a wet dog does, with an oscillation of its head and body.

GRAMS
The smallest hummingbird weighs in at only 1.8 grams, which is less than the weight of a penny. The largest hummingbird tips the scales at around 20 grams.

SECONDS
Hummingbirds are the only birds that can hover in still air for 30 seconds or more.

Eclipse 2017: Through the Eyes of NASA

Published on Aug 24, 2017

During the eclipse, 14 states across the U.S. were in the path of totality and experienced more than two minutes of darkness in the middle of the day – with a partial eclipse viewable all across North America. The broadcast – Eclipse Across America: Through the Eyes of NASA – covered locations along the path of totality, from Oregon to South Carolina including public reactions from all ages. The eclipse’s long path over land provided a unique opportunity to study the Sun, Earth, Moon and their interaction.

As a fine art landscape and cityscape photographer who loves big prints, I find this new mode of being able to display prints fascinating. This may be the start of a new trend that other manufactures will also jump onto.

I share some of my ideas of what this could mean for photographers at the end of this compilation of articles, in which I highlight many key points. I’ll start with a video:

(audio) Jimmy Webb: Songwriting for Glen Campbell, Inspired by God

In SPIRITUAL

“…sometimes it’s really transcendent. I’m sitting at the piano and I feel this music filling me and coming out through my hands. And honestly, I know that it’s coming from somewhere else. It’s not just a mental process. … I call it inspiration. … As you know, being a PK [preacher’s kid], when you’re inspired you’re filled with the Spirit. Oscar Hammerstein II came along, and he did believe in inspiration. He believed strongly in inspiration, and he must have had enough inspiration for both of us….” – Jimmy Webb @12:45, transcribed by Jeff Fenske

“Hammerstein contributed the lyrics to 850 songs….” (source)

God bless us everyone
We’re a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can’t be outfought
It can’t be outdone
It can’t outmatched
It can’t be outrun
No

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young
No

Lift me up
Let me go

Linkin Park Documentary – (Hybrid Theory through Living Things)

Published on Aug 8, 2013

RIP Chester…Linkin Park has been my favorite band since 6th grade when Hybrid Theory was the first album I’d ever purchased. In my final semester of college I decided to take an independent study course and produced this video as a tribute. The video discusses the band’s growth from their early years of “Hybrid Theory” through their most recent album “Living Things.” My inspiration came from the deep respect and appreciation I have for the band and their music. Their fearlessness to experiment and grow as musicians regardless of the consequences is a testament to their brilliance.
