Nice shooting Brian. We should give you a stealth award for you ability to capture those flies.
Old Fart's observation is right on the money and applies to quite a few folks here. "Funny how the better at something we get
the "luckier" we seem to get as well."

One of life's cosmic revelations. :-)

Thanks again Bentron,
Think the luck part is at least part-made. I try to shoot a few shots everyday provided the weather is reasonable so get a lot of practice and a lot of shots. At the moment there is only one place in my garden where I can reliably find bugs (the sunniest spot) which makes it easier. Having the time to watch what they are upto also makes it easier to approach them without scaring them.

Thanks Ahmad,
I normally use ISO100 unless I forget to change it from a previous shoot :)
