First time I successfully got an insect in flight. Took these during the lunch break during the jet-ski races.

You were racing jet-ski's and came in for lunch to shoot BIF.....that is awesome, want to trade lives?

This is so beyond my thinking, I wouldn't even begin to say what I think....cause WOW! just seems like it's not enough.

Dude, I'm beginning to wonder about you. You can't get one pants-leg on in the morning before insanely-good shots just start throwing themselves at you!!!

Wow great detail. What settings did you use? Did you use a tripod ?

Wow!! I admire your sports photos all the time, but the first one and the last one here are just picture perfect..I too am interested in knowing the settings you used for these.

Thanks all. No tripod, all of these were hand held. Exif shows shutter 1/640, f/16, ISO 400
