I've been experimenting taking photos at the feeder. First day, decided to put the camera (D7200) on the tripod with a speedlight mounted on it and one on a stand, various speeds from 1/5000 to 1/8000. Today, decided to put two speedlights on stands and sit out on the patio with 70-200 2.8 and take some handheld. There's still a little noise in these, so will probably have to invest in another speedlight if I want to take full advantage of HSS.
