Haven't posted anything for awhile. Got him yesterday while the sun was shining.
Handheld 70-300mm zoom at 300mm. panning f7.1 @ 1/1000 200ISO
not the sharpest but I was really happy to even keep up with him as he was flying along with the bug he just caught. thanks for looking.

    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!"

    Good capture! Busy backgrounds like this, make for difficult focusing!

    Wow! You’re really quick on the draw there. You should be proud of that one. It is great. I like the crispness of the body and the blur of the wings tips. Shows motion and yet detail. And the downbeat at that.
