Neet captures, Roger. I really like the one that shows the bee flying directly away from the camera.

Hey Roger
Looks like your getting closer in your focusing. I also have the D7000 and love this camera. One trick I use, I set the camera in Auto Focus Continuous Mode. I learned this while shooting birds in flight. This focusing Mode helps also with insects as they are Always Moving. Until I used this focusing mode on the birds I was Just Missing the focus by a hair. I thought my lens was off. After I changed to AFCM I started nailing my shots. Also these other small changes. In your Custom Setting Selection/autofocus/
AF-C priority selection/select Focus
AF-S priority selection/select Focus
Focus Tracking with lock on/select Off
These settings in the Custom setting selection along with Auto Focus Continuous Mode made my camera a Focusing Machine for Moving birds and insects

Well obviously what you are doing works, but I'm confused by the Focus Tracking with the Lock set to "off". Wouldn't you want the lock set to "on" so that it would only fire when focused? I guess I'm missing something here.
