This is from early in the week, when I was sitting on a deck in Alabama and watching a few carpenter bees hovering nearby. Trying to get a good shot was a challenge of it's own because they never really hold still and they're too small to track with autofocus, at least not with my Rebel Xsi. Keeping manual focus on a small randomly moving target - fun! Also discovered you've got to use a really fast shutter speed because apparently their whole body moves when their wings are buzzing. I'm back home now and there don't seem to be any carpenter bees around here, but the next time I'm in Alabama I've got to try this again. It's a fun way to get to know the camera.
