Nice job. Especially like the in flight shots. Nice lighting and very well processed.
Thanks Dale! Appreciate that mucho. Still have a few more FIF's (Flutteryby's in Flight) in the queue. The funny thing is, these are mostly from 1 or 2 overhead passes, sequential, with only a few throw away's for focus issues, and those were mostly my fault for not keeping the subject in the central 9 points I was using because the little buggers are so fast and erratic, they change directions more than a guy on a bicycle, heh heh.

Frederic, that first shot is another corker with the Tamron, wow, such colors and so sharp! That tractor is a great capture too, but its the wrong color... over here they are JD green. It's like camouflage, so you can hide in the field.

Originally posted by jabobby Eric, your flutterby shots are absolutely great. The thistle that the hummer moth likes in my neck of the woods is the Bull Thistle (Cirsium vulgare) an alien that you should most likely find in your area. Attached some photos. And I certainly agree with you and Frederic, stay in place & let them come to you.
Frederic, your sense of humor is as good as your photography.
Best Regards, Bob
Thanks, and thanks again for the tip! If I can't find starters at the local nursery I'll check mail order, and last resort... seeds. (who has the patience anymore? Heh)
I am litteraly GREEN with envy
of your hummer moth shots!!! Those are so freaking cool!
