Great capture with what I assume is the 70-300

How did you ever guess? :wink:

Heavily cropped of course.

Yep, it was one of the few times I put it on. Boy was it worth carrying all those miles for just this one shot.

Jeff , your technique with it to catch a dragonfly in flight must be something

Posted: **Mon Aug 29, 2005 7:02 pm**

Well done Jeff... I've tried hard to catch one of those guys in flight and it ain't easy...

Are you sure that's not a photoshopped helicopter?

Seriously though, that's a really great capture.

IT is my desktop picture of the week. Congratulations on taking such an interesting image.

Wow, this flying guy should be very happy with his new found popularity. I believe he was posing for me. :wink:

While it is a great capture of a small, fast moving subject, I'd rather be seeing his face that his ass

I agree

But nice capture (tricky). Well done.

that is a fantastic shot. makes me want to sit out in the yard and hope for similar luck before the mosquito season really kicks in.
