Nice captures, Nate and Joel.
Bob, those hummers are good enough for text books, great separation from the background. That first one is magnificent.
Wow, great HB shots, Bob! Were these taken toward evening or early morning hours? If so, you have one heck of a keen eye to spot them!
Joel - AWESOME as usual!
Thanks Denise and Steve. Denise, These shots were taken in the evening but before sunset with the sky still blue. the tree was also shaded by the house. I just had the exposure tightened down where only the flash was picked up.
Exif:
7D, 500, EX 580 flash camera mounted on the bird and a 430 flash on the tree both at 1/16 power
ISO 100, f-11, 250th manual, tripod
I normally don't like the feeders in my shots but I thought this one was funny, so one more......

Bob great shot with the bee on the feeder, since our weather has cooled slightly and it's been very dry I am seeing many hummers at our feeders....seeing your pics is making me think about setting up my flashes and giving it a try, nicely done[Y]

500mm f/4 IS USM

Are the hummingbirds bothered at all by the flash?

I'll shoot a few shots then let them feed without harrasment.
