Today’s weather was nice. Very sunny, no wind, and the temperature was pretty comfortable in the shade. Lots of bees were buzzing about. This was the perfect time to try pushing the limits of my camera!

In terms of shutter speed, I used up to 1/1000th sec (one thousandth), a fast shutter speed on this model, but not fast compared with other, newer cameras. Then I turned on continuous shooting so that I didn’t need to keep pushing the AEL/AFL button, as well as some other minor adjustments to get the max out of the camera.

On perfect days like these, it’s easy to do still action photography.
