Love these. Can't wait to get better equipment for this stuff.

Best I've gotten so far:



Sat on the lawn chair on my porch and just zoomed all the way in and waited for this guy to show up.

To be honest, I just took that on auto-settings, before I ever really understood manual settings, but I see in the exif data that it's 1/100 second, f/3.5, and I think the ISO generally defaults to 100 in auto settings. I would definitely go with a faster shutter speed now, and try to catch it away from the feeder nozzle if possible. I've read that one thing to do with hummingbirds is if your feeder has multiple heads, put tape on all the ones that you don't want the birds going to, so they'll situate themselves best for you.

If you use Firefox, check out the exif viewer extension. Let's you right click and see settings on most photos.
