Swallows on the wing and a dragon or two

[nzmacro]

I remembered (from years ago allready) for it to be tough getting any fast flyer into the frame, let alone also setting the right exposure, and so one can hope for having a fast enough camera to be beneficial enough getting it all right but it has to do with timing, reflexes and experience as well. Having fast(er) AF capabilities at my disposal since the last couple days once again I tried, and tried, again, and again, and....eh....

Hats off to you once more Danny (and to anyone with similar skills/reflexes for that matter). Luckily I didnt have to waste (m)any rolls of film to not even get one good enough capture.

Uhm yes..

Thanks Ray, appreciated.

This folder here is all manual focus using the Canon FD tele lenses on dragons and damsels. Mostly with the m4/3 Oly cameras.

It certainly keeps you on your toes and helps with bird in flight shots for sure.

Very nice. I have yet to get any good shots of dragonflies in flight. I've captured a few using Olympus/OMD Pro Capture but nothing like you have shown in this post.
