I am back. HELLO! Bokeh and a GNAT. Full blown 1:1 maxed out at 100mm

IMpressive stuff , with the bee's in flight gentlemen.
I tried that a couple times way back when but I kept losing them in the viewfinder.
Now I know the setup. Wait and let em fly in.
I'll probably have to try that again.

That's what I do with Dragonflies also!

Panning with a high F stop are we? That's still got to be hard as hell. They disappear at 200mm like really fast if you lose them on the pan.
If you lose sight of him, you never get him back in the viewfinder. I'm guessing ISO 800 - 1600 on a clear day, at f10-f18?
