I'm not sure how to explain this shot of a Hummingbird I got who appears to have only one wing. The shot is through the front windshield in our motorhome using a 5DII with a 100-400 Canon lens. I understand Hummingbird wings go fast enough for a close camera shot to miss the movement but why is the other wing, not very much farther away, so visible? I have enhanced this shot in LR but the RAW shot in also wingless. Oddly enough, the second shot I got a second or so later shows both wings!
I think this is very obvious. The one wing is very visible, because it is at the end of the movement, ready to move the other way (so it is slowed down a lot), while the other wing is still in full motion (too fast to capture for the shutter speed)!
