bees in air

        Catching bees in air indeed is challenging. They are small, fast, unpredictable, etc. To freeze their motion need shutter speed at least 1/2000s, thus ISO will be boosted up, image quality will be compromised. Also need fast continuous focus tracking . Even though very well prepared, still 90% shots was rendered   unusable. I experienced using continuous tracking focus and fast burst shot of a bird diving from the air. Almost everyone of them was acceptable. Never had the same luck with bees.  Good side is there are tons of opportunities.  They are abundant and won't leave the flowers.
