The hummingbird flaps it's wings about 50 times per second so if you used a shutter speed of 1/60 you would capture one full moment of the wings. 1/16 of a second is typically fast enough of a shutter speed where you won't get camera shake because it's pretty fast. So if wings can move the full cycle in just 1/60 of a second making the wings look still will take a fast shutter, or a quick, fast burst of light using a flash. Since the shutter speed's don't come in 1/20,000 of second, using a flash with that speed is a more popular choice for freezing the movement of a hummingbird. The trick when using a flash it to take the picture out of direct sunlight and to hope to capture the wings at the point where the wings are changing direction. If you're using this method the only thing with much light is what's illuminated by the flash for 1/20,000 of a second so the shutter speed can be somewhere around 1/200 second but it will effectively be 1/20,000 because that's the time of the light burst.

I'm taking pictures to oil paint. I want to get clear shots of roses and flowers, so I need details. What do I need to do? Betty Hi,

If you're just taking the pictures for sport or practice that's a separate discussion. Taking pictures of someone without them knowing is fine I think as long as they're pictures where you can go up to them afterwords and ask if it's alright. It's just more natural to take pictures of people when they're not expecting it, but I don't think you should do anything without their permission, if you don't get it- delete the pictures.
