Here're a couple of pics of our deck area with the feeders circled:
The first one is off to the left side of the deck, and I can't leave a camera pointed to that area, as it'd block the back door.
I can position a camera that would point to the 2nd area and kind of leave it there pointing to that general area.

Originally posted by C_Jones I have used F8, 1250 shutter speed, in TAV mode to successfully get images of hummingbirds. The amount of light you have is a large factor when trying to get images of them due to the fast shutter speed, so shooting at them from the side where the light is most upon them is going to be the most effective. I have a Sigma 150-500 so I have a lot of reach. If you are reasonably close and you have something with less range you may not have a problem, depending on distance. I have also used my Pentax AF360FGZ flash in HSS (high speed synchronization) mode successfully taking shots of them. Good luck.
Our posts just crossed, and I just posted some pics of the back deck area to give a better idea of the setup.
The longest lens I have is that 400mm. Longest zoom I have is 205mm, and I just found I have one 200mm fixed length (f/4).
