Bumblebees in flight
#7
Quote:    I've been trying to get that great bumble bee shot for ever!

 

      ....a close frame filling shot   .....high shutter speeds are needed, around 1/2500 sec...

 

  .......small apertures are needed to get the depth of field leading to the inevitable high ISOs.

 

  It's a great way to shoot off a thousand images only to find you have got not one perfect example....well after much shutter wear I finally got this one!
 

Most often I set shutterspeed to 1/1000 and aperture 1/f4 - 1/f5.6 and ISO not higher than 800 (both pictures I posted yesterday),  but here are two pics with different settings. The first one is from 2016: 1/1600, f/5.6, ISO 800. The second one from this year where the bumblebee is just leaving the flower: 1/640, 1/f5.6, ISO 800.  [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND][ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
