Ronny, as I have no idea how you are producing such gorgeous bee pictures, can you please educate me? Do you sit your cam on a tripod the way you would to do a bird, and wait for them to show up, or do you do it handheld and get a perfect shot despite all the movement and the ridiculously thin DOF at such close range?

I shoot 99.9% handheld ..it is to sit and wait them out
and then wait and take a chance when they fly away, and when they are approaching
flowers .. set the pre-focus on the flower I think they land on and hope that the focus is good ... are many bad pictures too
most important I think is a good shutter speed .. have a lens is quite sharp so it works even going as far down as 2.8 or sometimes even wide open
Likes to shoot at high aperture ..must learn to stop down sometimes ;-)
