Hummer Shots

Greetings feeders,

Our hummers are well into feeding again, and I’d like to improve upon a pursuit I began last summer – getting some good shots of them with my digital Sony Cyber Shot (DSC-V1). I had a few good shots last summer and tried various settings to get either blurred shots of the wing action, or still shots. My feeders are under shade, and even my good shots were dark in the middle of the day.

Any words of wisdom from seasoned hummer photographers, and persistent or lucky amateurs? What settings do you use to get your best shots?
