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.

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

Between the viewing platform and bridge #3 a male Annas Hummingbird is resident most of the year at Willband Creek Park.
I am returning after a long absence. My husband (Traveler Jim, here on flickr) died on December 26, 2014, after an extended illness with pancreatic cancer. My heart is broken. But I am determined to build a new life and continue with my photography.
A Hummingbird at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens in Texas on August 27, 2013. Don't know which species for sure but my guess is Black-chinned female.

This moth resembles a hummingbird as it flies rapidly between plants and hovers to feed over tubular flowers during the day. the Humming-bird Hawk-moth has orange-brown hindwings that are evident in flight. It has forewings that are greyish-brown, a black and white chequered body, and an incredibly long proboscis.
