I wont bore you more with this but it has truly been a challenge. The last dragon I slowed the shutter speed down to show motion but the rest of him also moves some

lrjames - those are all wow's! I'll have to try this sometime to drive myself nuts. I especially love that last one. : ) Can you supply some basic camera settings as a starting point?

Nice shots! They are tough to capture, at least for me, but you got some great shots. Thanks for sharing.

I used a 600mm lense, auto focus will get you close but manual focus is a must. a=f8, shutter speed to stop wings 1/1600, a lot of people use 1/2000 but I get too much digital noise at that speed. The last picture was 1/125. I used auto ISO because you are going from light to dark or dark to light really fast. The main thing you need to take pictures like this is a lot of patience
