Oops – this one looks a little better – with added vignette to hide some things.

I agree – this is interesting photography, and it does require some patience and observation. The exercise itself enables you to see things in creation you would not otherwise. As with all photography, to capture it & view it – at will – allows the experience to last longer. My DSLR and lenses are old, but I have a lot of fun anyway.

Love it, Jimmy. I have an oddball tool that is helpful (though not inexpensive)… http://bushhawk.com/ Pretty cool. Camera mount on a gun stock, trigger ties to camera release via cable.

This is a fun post, thank you! The other day I was photographing spiderwebs, now I’d like to give insects in flight a shot. I am not sure, however, if I have the patience! ;)

Great pics and tips Jeff! Thanks. I have yet to get an in flight pic, but I can relate to sitting out in the heat taking pictures of bugs.

Jeff,
Those are some incredible shots! I’ve been buggy about bugs for a while, but have never had the patience to wait for them to take a photo on the wing. Heck, I’m lucky to get a good shot while they are landed.
