IIF day two, I reduced the time to 2500, I tried to keep the aperture according to the light at a reasonable ISO so from 3-6, even the sun came out for a moment. I am happy with the settings, I shoot bursts and the AF holds the bee even when it flies away.. that's what I wanted.

Something even flew in much faster.. the time 2500 seems better to me..it doesn't look like the bee is hanging in the air... there are many more photos...

ISO 3200
f/4.5
1/2500 s

Day 3 ... bck to 3200 I'm only taking photos, close up, the lens is set to focus only up to 0.5 m, I shoot handheld through the rear display, even though I hate this type of photography .. I can't lie down with the camera. I have about 200 usable photos - various insects (for today) ... this is not the best of them, I'll keep the premiere on my Instagram.
