What you will get

A close slow motion clip of a hummingbird hovering at a flower in your colour, wings a soft blur, a tiny tongue flicking in for nectar, feathers shifting colour in the sun and a soft green background.

Why it works

Hummingbirds are all about speed, and the prompt balances that with slow motion so the eye can follow the feeding. Naming the tongue and the colour shift asks for details only a macro shot shows. The soft green bokeh gives the bright feathers and flower a calm background to stand out against.

Common mistake

The wings flap slowly like a pigeon’s.

Fix: Keep “wings a blur” and slow motion together, as the tip says. Real hummingbird wings beat so fast that even slowed footage shows a blur.

Also watch for
  • The beak goes through the petals. Ask for a long, tube-shaped flower with the beak entering the opening, which is how these birds feed.
  • The bird’s colour stays flat. Ask for the throat feathers flashing from dull to bright as the bird turns in the sun. That shimmer is what makes them famous.
Try a variation: show two birds

Ask for a second hummingbird arriving and both hovering at different flowers on the same branch, one leaving at the end.
