[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 837708, member: 50197"] Well, this is something I should have been doing for a while. The last several weeks, I have been noticing a lot of bumble bees on the mountain mint. I decided to try some in flight shots this afternoon using my 200-500 and pre release capture. It was heavily overcast, and windy. It turned out to be a lot of fun. I got a low stool and set up the tripod with a gimbal head and waited for them to light on a flower in a good location. I would like to stop down a little more for added DOF and use lower ISOs, so perhaps tomorrow I'll have more light to work with. I'm sure I can do much better than this, but it shows promise with a little work and different conditions.
