Here you can kind of see how a hummingbird’s wings don’t move in just an up-and-down plane but more of a figure 8. This was at 1/1250 shutter and there’s still blur. But surprisingly simple to photograph because of how stable they are at full speed hovering.
@Jgbird I was watching one that was hovering by me, it looked like it had two sets of wings
@sunumbral if we discovered some secret extra set of wings, I wouldn’t even be that surprised
