Awesome shots!!! They are amazing!

Waw very impressive indeed, congrats for two first shots !

Thanks everyone fore the very kind words. I liked this shot from the start, but did not expect the gracious comments from everyone. The hovers did most of the work, I was just in the right place. Thanks again.

first two are incredible shots. so sharp clear & colorful.

Lovely shots Trevor, reminiscent of my HIF mating shots from a year ago. I've managed to catch them twice now doing it, although the 2nd time, the shots weren't as good.

Wow. Those are pretty incredible shots. I don't know how you can hold that lens so steady and manage to stay within the focal range. Your steady hand is almost as good as your eagle eye.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback!

Shirley...I do have a lot of leverage.

Amazing shots. The first is my favorite. Great detail and amazing how only one is flying!

Simply stunning.

About that shot you threw in. Throw it out again. It's not a patch on those in-flight hovers which are superb.

Thanks eccles, the throw in shot was one if not the first of a hovers eye that I had decent focus
