I took this picture at my sister's house where she always has at least two feeders out and attracts large quantities of hummingbirds.
Lighting stuff: I learned the lighting that I used here from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum of 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background, 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. The backdrop is a painting my wife did for this purpose. 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 around 1/32nd 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. I've finally learned to pre-focus on a spot near the feeder, using Live View, so that the birds are usually all in focus. I can then sit farther away from the feeder and trigger the strobes and the camera remotely. Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used on that particular day.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.

hummingbirds only pass through my garden in the spring heading northwards, and again in the late summer on their migration south. I rarely see them in the springtime though I put out the feeder faithfully, but at the end of august into september I am usually rewarded with a few sightings. It could be just one lone bird that visits, but I am delighted when it does :-)

A flash of green and red, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is eastern North America’s sole breeding hummingbird. These brilliant, tiny, precision-flying creatures glitter like jewels in the full sun, then vanish with a zip toward the next nectar source.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird beats its wings about 53 times a second.

Visited Nanoose Bay, British Columbia recently - and spent some very pleasant time stalking the hummingbird feeder!

4 hummingbirds with the word "violet" in their names in one day. Amazing. (Violet-capped, Violet-headed, Violet-bellied, and Violet-crowned Woodnymph)
