    That first one is a great shot! The water drops frozen in the air like that seal the picture!

    Nice catch!

    I agree with walterick, that top one is sweet. I have tried a few time to do exactly what you did and after 400+ frames I came back with maybe 12 focused frames ;)

    I believe I cant get it

    Ain't gonna do it.

    Tried it last night. Most of the time, I couldn't even follow them in the viewfinder let alone get one locked on, composed, and focused. I imagine it's like trying to shoot a flying butterfly with a pellet gun.

    Got one that was an almost passable lucky shot. Erased it though thinking I could get a better one later.

    Great shooting on your part.

    You got me inspired

    OK, Bev, I got one yesterday. Nothing like the your first one there. These guys would swoop in, circle once or twice, and leave for 5-10 minutes at a time. Not much of any opportunity. Shooting dragonflies in midflight is easier

    Hope you don't mind me using your thread.
