Sifu, how did you capture this. i mean there is nothing for you to pre-focus on. I tried shooting flying bee by pre-focusing on a flower but still failed. Great skill.
Thanks for sharing on how to capture that. At least we can work on this a little harder.ortega said:thanks guys
in times like this, no AF is fast enough to focus on the bee
so i switch to manual and focus on thin air, wait for the bee and fine tune the focus and click
lots of trial and error. Just hoping to get one in focus.
great skill is patience and persistence
btw this is my 3rd attempt at shooting hovering bees
1st 2 attemps were bad
you are welcomed, always glad to help, it took me awhile to be able to get that shot, don't give up and shoot until you get it.Qazwer said:Thanks for sharing on how to capture that. At least we can work on this a little harder.

I don't think I'm overly kind, I'm just being frank ... I agree with your self critique, except for point number 2 ...ortega said:thank you for your overly kind comments
but i am sure that here are better ones out there.
Self critique:
Folds on flag could be better
a wider angled lens would also make it better (BBB)
clouds on top left could also be better

this one already 17mm, lens is next to the flag,wiz23 said:I don't think I'm overly kind, I'm just being frank ... I agree with your self critique, except for point number 2 ...
A wide-angle shot wouldn't make it better, it would just be from a different perspective. Your tight cropping of the flag is one of the factors that makes this shot unique :thumbsup: Of course, the cross created by the backlight over the top star is another factor![]()
