A fly flying...

There was a fly flying in front of me so I tried to catch it but it was very hard...
I shooted some 20 shots to obtain these 3 ones...

Hiya Yacine,

All things considered that's a damn good attempt

For me #1 is the best keep at it I'm sure you'll succeed soon

Cheers for now

Good try keep it up.

Kudos to you Yacine. Tough shots flies in flight and you got 3, Damn good.

Good captures Yacine- well done. If I'm not mistaken this is one of those flies that does hover around in little groups in sunbeams under trees ?- still very difficult to shoot- they always move away if you get too close.

Thanks everyone.
Brian, yes you are right. They stay 2 or 3 seconds in a stable place and then move to another place just some centimeters far, and so on... very hard to achieve the focus in these conditions. It's all a matter of luck.

BTW here is a thread where there are some incredible flying shots :

Impressive attempts. Until you've tried it, you do not realise how difficult it is. I've wasted many shots and still no successes.
