The camera was a Nikon D5100 with the 18-55 standard lens attached. the camera was handheld. the shot was taken at f11 appature in manual mode with a flash attached and activated.

 

The bee was zapped with a couple of flashes manually just to confuse it and slow it down 🙂

 

You can see the reflection of the flash on it back. After i got a couple of pics it recoverd from the flaches and went merrily on it way 🙂

 

The small appature gives good depth of field and the flash gives plenty of light and stops the movement blur

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
