I reckon strings have as much to do with getting that tone out as much as picks. I reckon this vid I recorded, jeez, 8 years ago now captures that HB tone i describe above rather well. saturate, saturated mids, warm, spaghetti like bass, thick trebles, slightly blunted. It can be aggressive, but it can also be controlled. I do remember Nylon as being a helpful material for the tone being sought. Kind of curious to see if the Titaniums let me get that "nectar" or "honey glaze" thing. I'll jump back into this in a few weeks when my HB gets back onto the stand before and after string change from the Martin Titaniums. Especially if current efforts are ending up on the thin side of things. (Blue Swirl and Tortoise, in case color batches resulted in random tone changes.) The thinner of the Taylor Thermex darker tone picks should be tried if you ever see one in a friend's pick bowl. Related to the actual tone being optimized byALD323(OP), scratch my thoughts on the Cool Picks, SAGOD swag picks and the Dunlop Ultex. I was thinking(guessing, as it turns out) that the term referred to the thicker, chimey tone with good bottom end support pushing it up through. The HB does have much to offer as far as variety of tones. Have fun discovering - and do revive this thread to tell what happens. Your description of the attractive N (which we also know as the honey glaze) seems to point in a promising direction. I hope you get closer this summer - and believe you are on the right track when not trying to bang it forward. It's exciting territory to explore and we all have our own personal preferences when it comes to nectar-nuance. I've had it several years but always used a medium pick, it sounded nice but the nectar was missing. The harder medium pick does indeed seem to be too loud and not delicate compared to the thinner lightly held pick but only on my Hummingbird!!!! So then the Herco pick is 50mm I'm assuming, and the Nylon.I have some of those grey nylons in thin and medium, I'll have to try those, I haven't done so yet! Thank you! I'm really craving the discovery of the nectar tone on the HB. This one is via tripod through a closed window.Ahhhh! E-minor I was hoping you would respond! What you say seems so true for that nectar tone. A telephoto works best for this method by I have used an 18-55 and 50 for the tripod method. I have also had luck sitting quietly in a lawn chair near the feeder with the camera ready. I normally use the tripod, pre-focus, fast shutter speed and remote shutter to get my shots. I've also mounted a camera right next to the feeder (on a tripod or gorilla-pod), and fired it remotely. Make sure your lens can focus that close. I've sat quietly on her deck with a bright flower rubber banded to the end of my lens. Patience, determination, and luck are required as if there are more than one they are always busy chasing each other around. They are used to people, and will sometimes cooperate by hovering right in front of us for long enough to get a pic. My mom puts out six hummingbird feeders, and her house is constantly surrounded by dozens and dozens of hummingbirds. I have one humming bird feeder, and we see up to 3 hummingbirds at a time.

The other week, I was on my deck looking at the feeder trying to figure out ways to keep the ants off and a humming bird flew right up the feeder and fed. You can get really damn close to a humming bird without scaring them off.
I have shot hummingbirds with the following lenses. The move quick.to the feeder and leaving. You want to be still, you don't have to as still as a statue, but don't be doing jumping jacks either. If they see anything that moves they will fly away. If you hand hold the camera, try and not move around shooting. It be better to place the camera on a tripod, instead of hand holding. Hummingbirds love bright colors.especially red. Also try to place the feeder near flowers. Such as a garden, or on a porch where there isn't alot of traffic. Place a feeder somewhere where there is a no distraction. It's best to take the pictures at a feeder, instead of trying to shoot them feeding off flowers (which is awesome when you get those shots, but when learning.shoot with a feeder first).
