Yeah it's grainy. Waited for a while and decided to play around with the settings, and of course it shows up!

I love the feeling of the hummer being forward of the flowers. The perspective is super.

The perspective is great. But give this a try next time you're out shooting hummers:

Low ISO
Use an F-stop of 9 to 22
Use an external flash, with a sync speed of 1/200th or so. Set your camera to fire on rear curtain (or when the shutter is closing).

You'll find that you can perfectly freeze the wings. The background may be non-existant and black. But the bird will be frozen in time with no motion blur on the wings.

Be ready to throw away a lot of shots. And be willing to tinker with your F-stop settings. That's the key (along with the flash) to getting rid of motion blur in hummers.
