This looks like a good spot

First attempt at shooting bumble bees...they are fast movers!
Gorgeous capture -- love the movement of the wings -- you did exceptionally well with this --fav

Great try, i love the focus on the flower and the movement in his wings, but the bees body is a bit soft. . i noticed on your exif that your shutter speed was on 500. Is your camera set in auto? If so, Next time try to use shutter speed mode and increase the speed. Start with 1000 and then just have a play with different speed to see if you can freeze the bee. does your camera have an auto focus tracking? The use of that should also help to keep the bee in focus. Have fun.

@deborah63 Cool thanks...nothing was shot in auto, I was actually gardening, saw the bee and grabbed my camera and it was on 500 from yesterday's shot. I'm notorious for shooting and forgetting to check, but definitely going to try again at 1000.
