Pretty interesting twist here. The hummingbird was flying along, checking out the bugs - not the flowers. Pretty neat!
I waited all summer to catch this hummingbird, and got it just on my birthday! What a great present!
The 2015 configuration of the English Garden conduces much better hummingbird pictures than in the past.
Check you its little foot and "curly" crown.

took this shot with the first sunlight, not in the flight but while the bird was resting to show their beautiful feathers

This is an image I took last week using a new lighting method that is outline below.
I learned the lighting from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum 0f 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background (which my wife painted), and photograph the birds in the shade so that you don't have to overpower the sunlight. When you use multiple strobes on a subject in the shade you can use lower power settings for each flash which results in shorter flash durations which means it freezes the wing blur. I used 6 Yongnuo strobes because I wanted to use identical manual power output for each flash . One strobe was pointed at the background, one was underneath the feeder, and the other 4 strobes surrounded the feeder. The strobes were all at under 1/16th power, in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N., and you can see the EXIF info on the side. This method is the only way that I've been able to photograph one of these birds with little, or no, wing blur. Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.
I had never seen a hummingbird scratch itself before, so it was a rare treat to watch this one doing a grooming ritual. And I was delighted to catch the action in a freeze-frame. Late afternoon light is the best for the location of this particular perch and for the camera angle.
Hummingbird feeding on flowers located on the deck in our back yard. We don't often get hummingbirds, and I was lucky to have the camera nearby.
