I have a hard enough time getting a clean shot of them when they're perched and you're shooting them mid-air haha! good stuff

Need to admit that this is one of those bugs you see in the tropics that will just hover in a spot for like 30 seconds then slightly move and hover in another spot for a while.

I've tried shooting these guys in midair and they are tough to get. I think you have to find a spot with a far away background to isolate them best. like you have....well done!

You aren’t just capturing them in mid-flight, you are doing it with the 200-600! That’s an unwieldy beast at the best of times. Congrats!
