That's pretty awsome. I've tried to capture them lately, and it's very difficult. Good job.

lesmore49 · 08-04-2018, 05:55 PM

Nicely done.

**eaglem** · 08-04-2018, 06:36 PM

Very good timing

SSGGeezer · 08-04-2018, 06:44 PM

Wow! Great job catching this image! very hard to catch in flight.

reh321 · 08-04-2018, 07:45 PM

I don't think I've ever seen a photo of one in flight before.

**PJ1** · 08-05-2018, 04:22 AM

Great shot. Hard to catch those in flight.

Your gonna have to share your capture technique/secret for all these poor folk here.

In flight! Wow! Great job!
I tried capturing bubbles in flight once, failed miserably and they move much slower!

Pure luck. Somehow, without even being able to see it in the viewfinder, I got it in the middle of the AF area (9 points) and it focused before it flew off (It was hovering). I tried for a few more minutes but it had had enough hovering in one place...

I wasn't aware that they ever hover in one place - I certainly have never noticed that happening
