Bumblebee taking off

[Judobreaker]

Well this might be my coolest insect shot so far (at least in my own opinion).
This bumblebee decided to take off just as I decided to press the shutter.
This is an uncropped photo.

No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

Just dumb luck produced an incredible shot. Well done or should I say pretty lucky.

A bit of both I guess.
The shot itself is ok, the fact that he just started flying is pretty dumb luck. xD

Exif?

I think you needed to shoot this at 1/30,000 sec.

LOL

 

[PixelRabbit]

Nice! Now you just need to train some more bee's, so you can do that consistently!

f/16
1/250
ISO 500

The wings are still blurred, I think 1/30,000 would freeze wing motion too.

Nice! Now you just need to train some more bee's, so you can do that consistently!

Now there's an interesting new career path for me...
