    These are great!! I've been able to get some dragonflies in flight as they hover, which takes an incredible amount of patience and a throw-away rate of at least 9 out of 10 shots.

    I've never even been close to capturing anything else.

    thanks everyone for comments
    it is difficult for me in English
    photographic technique is simple : time fast and burst
    no electronics trap but a lot of patience and very important is the observation of the behavior of the species photographed to know what are the best times to photograph them in flight
