    Wow, fantastic! Can you share how you got these? I'm guessing this isn't easy!

    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
