    Great captures on the DIFs plus the light in the other shots is wonderful.

    Go getem Thomas, DIF's that is and then showem to us thumb.gif
    Here's a tip:
    spend some time watching flight patterns, they will stop and hover in the same place over and over again, that's when you can nail em thumb.gif good luck :D

    Hi Ya bfjr.... least you have Dragonflies to even attempt to take photo's of :D
    I'm hoping when I get to Montana that I get to find bunches of cool bugs and critters.....fingers crossed.

    Do the Dragonflies tend to hover? or do they just take off ?
    You rarely ever see them where I am, and the ones I see you guys from the States post appear to be quite large, so that's also gotta be a bonus for you.

    To catch them in flight looks like it's not easy to do hu headscratch.gif
    You done a great job with this series, very impressive indeed.
    Well done....thanks for sharing........ Skippy (Australia)
