My last tidbit--most folks start with the inverted-bottle type feeder. There is a feeder called the HummZinger that looses the bottle entirely, giving you a much better chance of getting a shot of the bird rather than the equipment. Check out the link below and you'll see the benefit. They have a new HighView model that has a raised perch that gets the bird up away from the feeder. I have a few, and it is great fun to place two of these maybe 30--50 feet apart and watch a single dominant male try to "own" both of them. If only I had their energy and persistence!

You will find that many of the impressive hummingbird shots involved a flash (or two), often with full sun, to bring out the male colors. So you are on your back foot with that shady location. These guys like to make us work for good shots. Get in the sun and 1/2000 with low ISO should do it.
