Honey Bee
The conundrum of bees..... I have struggled to get good shots of bees. A fast shutter speed is almost always desirable but the corresponding shallow depth of field generally doesn't seem to work well for them. Worse, bees usually don't look good in direct sunlight, so I'm shooting in shadows making a fast shutter speed difficult. In addition, bees are always moving so focus can be a problem too. I rarely come away with a good shot.
