Kinetic Still Life: A Video Portrait of Safflowers

Slow motion video captures a hummingbird and honeybee visiting the Safflowers at the #Townhouse Garden

Kinetic Still Life: A Video Portrait of Safflowers  

The safflowers are in bloom. Visitors to the flowers include hummingbirds and bees. 

To capture the kinetic action of what would be a still-life image, I set up my iPhone and captured two hours of video. I then edited the video and slowed the motion down to 10%. This gives us a better chance to see the visitors in action. 

The slowed sounds produced by the doves and finches reminded me of Malaysia. We lived on a hill on the edge of a forest. The audio is similar to the howler gibbons we would hear each evening.
