What speed does it take to freeze a hummingbird's wings like that? This picture is borderline impossible.

Hi folks,

Thank you for the kind comments!

This type of motion freeze is done with multi flash photography. This particular image I used 4 flash units triggered by a master flash on camera.

Just excellent Best regards, Linh Dinh

Thanks for the response on the freezing. Your answer brings to my mind an episode of Foghorn Leghorn where he has that little kid driving him nuts. He gives the kid a baseball and asks him to throw it as far as he could. The kid throws it through his bat and through several trees. Foghorn, mouth agape, tells the kid, "but, bbut, but, that's not possible". The kid draws a complex equation on a piece of paper and offers it to Foghorn. Defeated, Foghorn just waves him away and says, "Ah, spare me the explanation, Einstein. Won't do me no good anyway". I feel like Foghorn after reading your methods. That is some serious perspiration, maestro.

Fantastic capture!
