"Improved" Hummingbird Shots

My goal for the summer was to get some good Hummingbird shots, and I've already shared a few sets with you. Well yesterday, I think I have the correct
"recipe" dialed into my camera. The pictures I posted on Saturday had a very
shallow DOF. With these pictures, I have "stopped" it down some, which has
improved the DOF:

Now when you stopped it down, it slowed your shutter speed. With your lighting is it possible to get it stopped to increase your DOF, and get enough shutter speed to clean the blur on the wings, just a hair?? is that doable with ISO setting, or is there just not enough to do it?

I raised the ISO to compensate for the higher f-stop. I was in manual mode, where shutter speed, and f-stop are fixed....

When you are working in manual mode, how do you go about setting the initial exposure?
