My first in flight hover fly shots. At one point I had the two males facing head to head hovering, but I could not get the focus right.

They are amazing. I finally have some hoverflys in my garden and I can get them to hover long enough to get anything other than the flowers in the background. Do you have a time turner or some magic wand that allows you to slow time? Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I guess it requires a lot of patience, but most importantly, luck. I am assuming they are two males fighting over the female. ![]() Kudos to you then MM, you do realise every HIF shot is going to be worst then your first HIF shot from now on Alby

Yup, that's it and you're not going to convince me any different. Not sure why, but call me JJ.
