Made a trip down to Pheasant Branch at lunchtime yesterday to try to capture a yellow-rumped warbler. To say these little guys move fast may be an understatement. This is 1/1000s shutter speed and the wings still blurred this much!
A question did come up about the wing blur versus the shadow created, and I was curious about that as well. After reviewing the image a bit more, I think the vertical trajectory of the wings, relative to the location of the sun, kept the wings in roughly the same position when viewed horizontally. So the shadow looks "fixed" in the horizontal mode while the wings are blurred when viewed vertically. (It's the engineer in me coming out... lol)
