If so, try setting the camera for that and then get the focus more or less right and then fire away while you move ever so slightly in and out. Chances are that one of that series of images will have what you want in focus.
Craig tells people this in his workshops.

| July 27, 2010 @ 11:34pm | The brain-dead "Ads by Google" seized the mention of bees in this thread and popped up this ad as I examined the shot:
Bee problems? For the best in pest control--www.terminix.com. Unfortunately, there was no Google suggestion for wind (GasX.com?).
Wind and low light are the twin demons of macro shots. I like the lines and color of the flowering spikes. If you have one where the focus grabbed the foreground flowers (and of course the bee would still be slightly OOF), I think the eye would completely accept the bee. We are used to focusing our eyes on the nearest object.
