The attitude in first one looks much like one of those maniacs jumping off a
cliff wearing a wing-suit.

Subject: PESOs: The Miracle of Flight
I’m fascinated with moments in flight. They reveal much about something we
can’t see very well without the aid of a camera, because it happens so fast.
In the first picture, a female sparrow pushes off from a perch. She seems to
be launching with a huge effort and instant velocity, as she shows motion
blur at 1/1000th second.

In another pic, a male sparrow is captured in flight. His wings are probably
moving at least as fast as the hummingbirds, although common belief would
have it otherwise. Both this sparrow and the hummingbird were shot at
1.1000th of a second, and here we see at least as much motion blur as in the
hummingbird pic. Of course, this is a small sample, but I find it
interesting.
