溫哥華生態攝影師 Jess Findlay 走到哥斯達黎加山區拍攝火喉蜂鳥，蜂鳥羽毛呈現出像色環一樣七彩的顏色，照片在網絡上相當受歡迎。

攝影師由於在一個充滿大自然景觀的環境下成長，加上父親經當帶他徒步旅行和觀鳥，所以他對自然攝影充滿了興趣，長大後就成為了生態攝影師，並曾在 BBC 的生態攝影比賽中獲獎。

由於蜂鳥移動速度高、體積小，拍攝比較困難，但其羽毛色澤相當豐富，所以也成為很多人希望拍攝的目標。Jess Findlay 在接受 Petapixel 訪問時，就指自己安靜等待了幾個小時才拍攝到這隻蜂鳥，而由於牠們的羽毛會隨角度、光線等改變色澤，要拍到光譜一樣的完整色彩，要在特定角度才可以（似乎紅色的部分比較難拍），算是對他的挑戰。

Fiery-throated Hummingbird portrait, Costa Rica • I’ve been awestruck by the beauty of birds more times than I can count. Just once though have I been in complete disbelief of what I was seeing. As far as colour is concerned, these little guys take the cake! As I type this, many thousands are voraciously feeding from flowers in the cloud forest of the Talamanca Mountains.

Fiery-throated Hummingbird iridescence, Costa Rica • This dazzling rainbow display on the gorget of a hummingbird isn’t caused by pigment, rather by an incredibly precise and uniform lattice of micro-feathers that refract structural colour.

Seeing this gorgeous male Mountain Bluebird arrive at the cabin earlier this spring had me hopeful that he might find a mate and raise a family nearby. A few weeks later, him and his lady are busily feeding their hungry chicks! • Better yet, @connorstefanison and I have been able to share this experience with our #UltimateLoons photo workshop participants. #birdsofcanada

A female Red-naped Sapsucker pauses at the entrance to her nest cavity with a beakful of ants for her hungry chicks • @connorstefanison and I have just wrapped up week one of our Ultimate Loons photo workshops. Besides the amazing action out on the lake, we had some fantastic encounters with forest birds such as this beautiful species #ultimateloons #birdsofcanada A photo posted by Jess Findlay (@jessfindlay) on Jun 17, 2016 at 6:14pm PDT

A male Resplendent Quetzal with a large aguacatillo fruit in its mouth. Photographed high in Costa Rica’s Talamanca Cordillera • Its spectacular colours and nearly metre long upper tail coverts easily make this one of the most spectacular birds in the world! Feeling very fortunate to be spending time with this amazing species. A photo posted by Jess Findlay (@jessfindlay) on Apr 9, 2016 at 5:00pm PDT

Peru’s National Bird – the Andean Cock-of-the-Rock. I photographed this beautiful individual at a “lek”: a site where males gather to display for nearby females. The light is low, the forest is extremely dense, but moments like this make the waiting worthwhile! A photo posted by Jess Findlay (@jessfindlay) on Sep 28, 2016 at 6:26am PDT
