i am still waiting to get a full frame bat in flight with a crisp focus-but am having to settle for crops.it hard to to do as you cant see them through your camera and have to estimate where they will be before you shoot,which with telephoto dosen't give you much of a margin for error-i will perservere

this has had USM applied
Latitude: 37° 52'South
Longitude: 145° 08'East

Canon 20d,EFS-60mm Macro,Canon 85mm/1.8. Pentax Spotmatic SP,Pentax Super Takumars 50/1.4 &135/3.5,Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumars 200/4 ,300/4,400/5.6,Sigma 600/8.

    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!"

    thanks harry
    thanks harry

    i thought you would understand the difficulties.

    i have searched image banks and google for shots of flying fox at night, in flight, and they are very rare,mainly images of them at rest in trees-once i get a better one i will try and sell one
