Couple of Dragons

Just thought I'd share a couple shots. They have been really buzzing around lately, and always fun, hard, neat to catch



Catching them in flight always gives me a thrill

Lord Vetinari

really neat shots- love the DIF shot.

That first one is great, well so is the second. I can never get that close to them when they are in flight, well I guess I can't get them that in focus either when they are in flight.

Excellent shots Ben!

Great shots, you have inspired me to try and get my own DIF .

It's pretty easy to capture the single headed dragons. Bring back a three headed fire breathing dragon...then I'll be impressed.


Seriously (as hard as it is)...very nice captures machine gunner. Did you have the heater ablazin' full out on these captures? **click click click rattattatt ratatatatattatatta **. Pretty spiffy pictures Ben. I like 'em.

What fancy glass were you shooting through? Any extension tubes?

I am sure we have those thinga around here...but I never spot them. :cry Maybe I'll find one of the really old ones that isn't moving too fast.

Cheers

Hey Nick
Just stand in one spot and watch them for awhile usually they'll make the same pattern around you and hover a few seconds. That's how I get DIF's. Just be patient and they'll cooperate with you, honest

Wonderful work Ben! The red one is just stunning!!!

Great captures. All I've ever been able to get are DIF butts filling about .05% of the frame and even they are blurred.
