Photographer Captures Incredible Images of Hummingbird's Wings Turn Into Rainbows (8 Pics)

When professional artist and photographer Christian Spencer saw a black Jacobin hummingbird flitting near his verandah in Rio de Janeiro, he was stunned to see a magical rainbow shining through its wings. Check out a number of the images from the stunning series below.

At that very moment, it appeared as if the birds body was made of rainbows. "There is no special technique, just diffraction of light through the wings of this special hummingbird" Spencer recorded the birds beautiful 'rainbow' movements in 2011 for a film called The Dance of Time, that won 10 international awards.
