I really like taking bee photos but it sure does take a lot of practice (at least for me) the second shot is really nice. The only really tip is probably an obvious one, I use a higher shutter speed because of the fast movement of the bees and usually the wind.

Inspired by the recent posts of bee captures, I took my camera out last night to see what I could do. I do not have a macro lens, so to get the shallow DoF I wanted I used my Sony 100-400 4.5 - 5.6 GM OSS lens at 400mm. Also, I had to use the auto-focus because of the rapid movement of the bees. The camera body is the Sony a7rIII. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Good catches in pretty settings.

Thanks for looking and commenting, Dan. You are correct about the wind, something I did not realize until I tried to focus.

I almost did when we lived in Virginia. Too hot in Utah.
