Camera? settings?
not that I'll understand that much when I get the answers - but there are many here who do.
What color, too.
come often - welcome back - and bring more gifts

have you ever tried using a flash for hummingbird shots? I met a pro wildlife photog in arizona this spring she recommended using a flash as fill light with hummers since the flash speed will be much fater than the shutter speed.
