I use a Fuji X-E1 mirrorless camera on a tripod with a Fuji 50-230 F4.5-6.7 glass. I focus manually ( auto-focus turned off ) on a spot/perch, and use a remote trigger...... Wait, shoot My settings on this were about 2000 ISO @ 250 sec. Here are a few more..... The sun peaked through for the first two....

One of them buzzed me just the other day.
I was watering the yard, and he came up quickly and then hovered about a foot from my face... he was looking right at me...
I couldn't figure what he was thinking, so I said,..."Hey, I'm a human"...
He seemed to think this over for few seconds, then buzzed away...

How do you convince them to land on on the perch?...

The county fair here has various categories of photography contests and I bet you could win one with those photos. My father fed hummingbirds after he retired and had a lot of fun doing it. Seemed like a lot of work.

Yup, we have the feeders out, but seems like the five or six we have EVERY year have not chosen to come back?
I have my garage door open all the time, and they usually first show up trying to get food off of my handle for manual release because it is a nice red, that's when we know they are here

But not this year.... we have had the feeders out for two weeks now, I took a gander at the hummingbird migration chart, and they should be here by now..... we are getting worried.

Here is my favorite picture... it too me like 3 hours to get it.... using a Fine Pix 7

That's not hard, I put a zip tie on the chain I hang our feeder from, they land on it all the time. Those fellows are not heavy. I even took the wire twisty tie from a bread bag and fastened it to the chain. Instant perches.

BAMM!! The little guy that comes into the garage to start the year showed up today! LOL

Was making a video for the single tone piezo I ordered for the wife's bike and I heard the little bugger hovering. I have a screen on the garage this year, so he just latched onto that and sat for a few seconds.

I'll be looking for them on the feeders now... usually takes about a week before they all start showing up.

We are blessed to have them around here as well. I have quite a few shrubs that bloom as well as flowers and they seem to prefer the nectar from them than the feeders themselves. They are so fun to warch. How many different colored ones have you captured on film?
