These guys are tough to capture! Finally managed to get a few that are decent.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Thanks Ted. I sorted through a bunch of blurry ones to get to these. Most of my keepers are SS 1/2000 or faster.

Great captures John. Capturing that close is quite special with these speedsters.

Very nice; I tried shooting these guys once and just about screwed myself into the ground trying to keep up with their tortuous flight.

Thanks guys. They are definitely a challenge. Here is one more where I loved the pose, but wish it were a tad sharper.
