This fun image of the Red-Backed Bumblebee represents the culmination of 3 years of planning, photographing, failing, and trying again. Capturing a bee in midflight required a long lens and manual focussing, making it an excellent exercise in patience. These bees are only out for a couple weeks each year, making photographing them that much more special when things finally do come together to form a great photo.
