Some for the insect world

Did manage to get some Dragonfly shots today. Never once did I see a Dragonfly land anywhere - they were constantly on the move - so, did manage to get some in-flight shots.

Also, a moth having a late breakfast.

#1 and #2 - DIF's

very nice

Those dragon fly in flight shots amaze me!

Thanks for the comments. DIF's are difficult - keeper rate is probably something like 1 in 25 - and that's on a good day!

Best way to get these is to watch their behavior - a lot of dragons fly the same path over and over. Concentrate on one or two spots, work on getting your focus set for the spot, and watch for the approach - high-speed mode (multiple FPS) can help - increases your chances of getting a good shot. Usually not much chance of working on composition, just concentrate on focus. I cropped both of the DIF images to get the composition that you see.

awesome shots.. well done
