Not the easiest to catch I’m sure! Pretty nice job I’d say. What aperture were you shooting at?

Fantastic! They are very difficult to get in flight. I know because I’ve been trying for two years!!! They’re practically invisible when they are at full speed. More difficult than hummingbirds for sure. What was your shutter speed? Were you panning?

Thank you

Shutter was 2000 and no panning on these, just tried to be very quick when they hovered.
