Those are very good. I used my 100-400 for the first time today to get some bees flying, etc. Holy &^%$ is that hard. Care to share your secret?
Nice job.

Superb effort Richard.

I'm impressed by your tracking ability. Now all you need is a shot head on...

Thanks to all of you for your comments. Even if I do nail one, it won't be hung on the wall. I guess it's the challenge that keeps me going. Never say "can't". --Rick

Hiya Rick,

As Brian says Excellent attempts, #2 for me.

I have this wonderful vision of you rummaging round in the grass disturbing the local Grasshoppers to get em flying & doing various acrobatics to get the shots off. :lol:

Cheers for now

I know macro shooting requires a fair amount of patience but your patience and determination has got to be greatly admired.
