Over the last week, I have been getting some shots of hummingbirds out the back window.

These are awesome. I've just started shooting hummers on my deck. No where near this quality yet.

Thanks for the comments - here is one trying to look fierce defending the feeder.

Soo smooth!! Are you using something in your PP to get that smooth and clean?

Man, Woodzy, those are awesome! I started down the hummer road some time ago, but must have made a wrong turn somewhere. These are thru a window, too? Think Geoff's question applies to me, also.

Thanks for all the great comments. These are taken out the back window - window is lowered so I'm only about 7-8' from the feeder. Just to give you some details, shutter speed is between 1600 and 3000, ISO is 1600, F4 - F5.6, Canon 5D Mark III, and lens was the 400mm 2.8ii.

PP is just lightroom to adjust highlights, shadows, and contrast and also remove any noise from High ISO.

I started to try to use high speed flash - but that takes a little getting use to.
