People think these shots just happen. You gotta put the time in. How many shots didn't work out?

WEll Done and thanks for sharing.

That lens is amazing to get this shot a f/22 with no flash....

Hi Pat - thanks for the comment. You are right, not so easy - I spent 20+ minutes lying in the sun, took 100+ photos of wich 6 is usable. I liked this one for the reflection on the wing. I had the ISO on 600 (check the grain). To me it was worth it because only on the photos i could actually see some detail - in flight they move around so quickly that you only see a blurr most of the time. Kind regards.

Nicely captured Joggie! How do you focus on flying insects?


Joggie van Staden   {K:41275} 4/27/2005
Hi Peter - I just try my best to follow them in through the viewfinder and keep klicking - 60% of the time the shot is a complete or partial miss, 30% of the time they are in the frame though out of focus while only 10% or less is well framed and focussed though the angle might still be wrong - Great fun!
