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

Seriously! The ability to get dragonfly shots as clear as these is incredible. I try but get no where near this result! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks
I have always been good with guns etc so I find aiming very easy and it's important to get the dragonfly in the frame quickly otherwise it's too late. The other important factor is to pre focus and time your shutter correctly. The AF barely holds more than a second the way dragonflies fly.
