SS-1/250, F11, ISO200
SB-800 off camera full power approx. 30degrees left 15 ft from subject, in remote.
On camera flash set to Commander. Obviously flash needed to be closer to subject. But what needs to happen to freeze motion?
Yep, shutter speed WAY WAY too slow. I haven't gotten to shoot a hummer yet, but I would start at around 1/3000 or so. I shot a duck recently at 1/1000 and even that wasn't fast enough for the wingtips on a duck, and a ducks wings are like molasses in winter compared to a hummers.

he could stop the motion at 1/60sec if he set it up right. It's not about the shutter speed but the flash duration.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that only work in a situation where you had very little to no ambient light? I mean even if your flash durration was extremelly fast the shutter would still stay open for 1/60th of a second and with enough ambient light that would give you motion blur on the final image.
