I've been told they normally take turns leading. It's tougher being first. The rest of the geese get a little lift from the wake. Sort of like "drafting."

I've read that, too. But these guys kept flying around & around & shifting so that was as close to a "proper" formation that they got. Training day? I could hear the irritated comments from the elders! :D :D

Thanks again!

Thanks, everyone!

I just cann`t deside which one i like most.

The damselfly for me 'cause I've got a lot of "almost" shots of them. The Bfly stayed just long enough for me to almost get it in focus... & it's not. Then it fluttered through a hole in the chain link fence & was gone.
Just when I think I'm getting everything nailed down in terms of setup, Winter is about to blow in.

Don't you love the bokeh of a 70-200 for spiderwebs? I have a directory with about 100 spiderweb shots, and most of them were done with the 70-200 (my second favorite walkabout lens).

Yes, I do. I keep it at minimum focusing distance & have an old Vivitar 283 flash dialed down for fill with the Varipower module, & it works great. Best part is being able to instantly shoot at infinity, too. While I can work closer with the 28-70 f/2.8, that's not necessarily an advantage with Dragon Flies! :D
