A great series. Really like the Anna's hummingbirds.
Thanks. I cranked up the shutter, raised the ISO, and stopped down to get a little more depth of field. Prefocused on the branch with the shutter half pressed and mashed it when I saw him coming in for a landing. Got plenty of out of focus approach shots. Even at 30fps didn't get the shot I really wanted.
A couple more stills:

The video was more interesting. First is 4k slowed down 5x. Second is HD slowed down 10x.
&t=16s
Interestingly my Mac, Quicktime, and DaVinci couldn't play the HD video codec so I had to edit in youtube. No issues with 4k.

Driving at speed limit on a bumpy highway, shooting out the passenger side window, and using Adobe Photoshop 2024 to align images seems to work amazingly well. Rapidly changing foreground, but unchanging background seems to enable this.
