Isn't the bird scared by humans?

Takes a lot of patience and sitting completely still.
Any movement and they fly away.

I think hummingbirds presented the first major challenges shooting with a manual lens (and on film) in 1992, so you are fortunate to have autofocus early on... believe it or not, but I now mostly shoot with manual focus... although autofocus is nice for getting things close.

It is hard to use autofocus on these fast little birds! The focus spot is often on the sky, therefore infinity. I usually manual focus on the bird feeder and then tweak it a tiny bit when the bird arrives.
Completely new to anything other than auto everything photography! ENjoying learning though :-)

This is super cool! I have 2 feeders and these guys come as early as 5 am every day. I love them. I shoot with a nikon D3200, I'll make a hummingbird post, in the mean time if I can add a link: www.fishieye.com

We have 12 or more feeders (lost count!). The hummers are most active early in the morning and just before sunset.

Once you have hummingbirds coming regularly to a feeder, remove the feeders and sit very still close to where they were. It takes patience and being very still. Hand feeders available at amazon.

I've never seen this with hummingbirds before.
But one of my favorite childhood memories was sitting on the porch with my Grandpa in Arizona and sitting so still that the scrub jays would come eat peanuts from our hand or even take one from Grandpa's mouth!

I'm replying to point out that in this thread there have been two or three questions asked and the questions are good and the people who asked did not get upvoted and it'd be good for the community if more solid replies were upvoted.

I tried to up vote three comments now, and I saw them disappear from my view before showing my certified blue invite. Maybe I'm dumb, but it was kinda sketch.
