This is such a shame, but if we can't behave as adults, we will lose more beautiful sites like this.

This mill was one of my favorite places to photograph, and I would visit it many times each year. Here are a few of my photos of the mill in my Colorado gallery.

A friend loaned me a Solar scope (Telescope specially for the sun) and I've been building it up over the last month. After I installed it in the observatory, the clouds cleared and I was able to grab an image. Looking forward to doing this under good conditions.

Love the hummingbirds

Another week, another high-speed hummingbird video!

Another high-speed hummingbird video, this time starring the sparkling violetear!

See what 150 wingbeats per second really looks like in this high-speed video of the sparkling violetear hummingbird!

I may be *slightly* addicted to shooting high-speed video ;)

I took my high-speed camera to Ecuador and got some film of a rufous-gaped hillstar -- it's pretty much the only way you'll ever get to see a hummingbird's wings beat!

High-speed video time! This is a rufous-gaped hillstar, one of my favorite hummingbirds. This video, shot about 33x faster than normal, shows just how much work these little birds do to stay in the air.

Hummingbirds are AMAZING. Please feel free to share this video I shot with a specialized high speed camera in Ecuador during my annual photography workshops. Please enjoy full screen in high resolution to see the beauty. https://www.shetzers.com/rufus-gaped-hillstar-hummingbird-slow-motion-video/

I am so excited to share this. This is one of my favorite hummingbirds in slow motion, the Swordbill hummingbird, who is the only bird whose beak is longer than its body. I was lucky to photograph this amazing bird in the high mountains of Ecuador with a high speed video camera.

Songbirds in Slow Motion. Shot 33x slower than normal video, we are able to see so much more detail in motion of these amazing animals.

What happens when a small cub finds a flounder on the beach? Play time ! Join us next year on our Bear Photo Workshop. More at: https://www.shetzers.com/grizzly-bear-photography-workshop-and-tour/

Here is my first (of many) high speed video of the hummingbirds of Ecuador with a specialized high speed camera which records at 1,000 frames per seconds. It was certainly a fun project. https://www.shetzers.com/

How to work on lighting for high speed videos. Tape focus targets to a fan. Don’t tell OSHA.
