@robo062003, great job getting out there and practicing! If you’re working on learning how to focus well, I’d encourage you to work mostly with stationery subjects for starters. Compose your photo so there is an obvious subject, and focus on that. Once you’re more comfortable with that, branch more into moving subjects and complex compositions. Bees are harder to photograph than one would think!
@dotremain, have you tried using manual AF point selection (as discussed in this lesson of the Foundations Course)? That was a game changer for me.
