Holy crap it is tough to get these jitterbugs in flight. Lucky for the sunny day to get the fast shutter. Nikon D700, Nikon 80-200mm, f/8, ISO 200, shutter speed 2000 and 3000.

Excellent job with a difficult subject to catch.

Really good! How many "bad" shots did you get!

Hi, Firstly, thanks for your responses. I do not consider these all that good and the posted photos were about 20% of total shots. The other 80% was no where close to focused. Yes they are tough subjects and practice, practice, and practice is what I will be doing.

They certainly are aerial acrobats. Good captures!

Great set of images. We have three pair nesting in boxes in our yard. It is really challenging to get good in-flight images.
