I was trying all day to take pictures of those.
But since in some spots I cant get my body down close enough to them I have to kinda "guess" that they are in frame and focus when I macro them. Good job!! |

I managed to get the lens about 1.5ft from it. The only way I could get this close was to make sure I had grass between me and them and then very slowly extend my arms and the camera out as far as I dared! It was quite fun and I think the results paid off. I would really have liked to have taken a photo of one in flight as they tend to hover a lot. Does anyone have any tips on how I would get the thing in focus? thanks Martin. |

Hi Martin.
It's very difficult to get it in the air, it's a fast bug. The only thing I can come up with is to wait for it to take off. Be ready on the trigger and shoot the da... Well that's one way. Klaus |

Martin,
Have you tried burst mode? On my Mnolta that gives about one shot per second. Inthat case you might get frame that has it taking off in flight. Aloha, Selvin |

Martin should be able to shoot more frames per second!

I wouldn't bother posting links unless you have something useful to add or say?
Martin. |
