Technically, this was one of my more difficult shots. The fact that I wanted a shot of a bee in flight, forced my to use a small aperture for a longer depth of field with my macro lens. Also, had to have a short shutter speed to freeze the motion of the bee. This forced me to look for a location with strong light because I wanted to have a slow ISO setting to cut down on the noise. This is all to the best of my recollection as I shot this last summer. Hope this helps!
