    i am extremely petrifed of bats. i know its very difficult to capture a bat at night but i think you are crazy for even trying....

    you are 1,000 times more braver than I am...

    thanks- bravery has nothing to do with it-they avoid us-getting the shot is hard though and I want to be able to get a clear wide angle close shot so that I can get more detail-its not easy as they are moving quite quickly and focussing is a real issue

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
