[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 259347, member: 12496"] Yes, if you want to freeze the wings, you need a flash in lieu of sunlight. Otherwise all you have to stop motion of the wings is shutter speed. Hummingbird wings need about 1/25,000 second, which speedlights at low power can do (like 1/64 power level), but shutters cannot. To minimize the sunlight (which the shutter speed will cause blur), but can put the feeder in the shade, of a tree or the house. You need the telephoto lens to stand back and not scare the birds, but the low power speedlight flash will have to be up much closer.
