@csilverman this one was mostly luck lol. i was just taking pictures of the swallow who i got a bunch of very nice pictures of on this branch and just as i was about to be done and look at the other swallow on a different branch the bee just rocked up and startled the swallow lmao. i just held down the shutter and hoped my shutter speed was fast enough. would have preferred a bit faster but glad i got the moment anyway haha
