Guess we will all have to wait and see when I get around to posting the 300mm shots i took last week

Sorry I have a huge backlog of photos and these were very worthy of posting first.

These are Australian Emerald photo's I shot about 2 weeks ago with 40-150mm + MC-14. Last two are picked from a sequence the day before. All were good but I chose the best two to keep the photo numbers down.

Anyway Enjoy these before I give my 40-150mm pro a little rest (actually already doing that )

front on 1

front on 2, AF kept up

1 of 3

1 of 3 100% crop

2 of 3 it changes direction but AF holds

3 of 3, ok I lied it was a sequence of 7 and all were sharp but one

only locked on 1 here, it did the super manouver and I lost focus

Vas , it is bad enough all the wonderful BIF shots we see in the forum putting us mere mortals to shame, but insect in flight shots like these are just plain showing off Truly lovely work
