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.

Years later, Spencer returned to complete more 'rainbow hummingbird' work, speaking to My Modern Met he says: "I decided to try and photograph the same phenomenon created by birds' wings with my camera." And this resulted in Winged Prism, a stunning series of images that reveal "a secret of nature that cannot be seen with our eyes."
