Was out practicing focusing my technique, which needs a lot of work. Its hard enough to get one shot in focus let alone hand stacking. I am really envious of many of you folks and your skills. But any way I was stalking this critter and startled him I guess. The first and second shots the focus is getting close I think, but the third shot what can I say, not even close. He just got outta Dodge!

It looks like a cantharid beetle. I like the first one the best, although if you had gotten the last one in focus, it would have been a really neat shot!

We have all been here! It is a numbers game. Keep shooting.

I like the first one best. Just to catch an insect in flight at all is quite an accomplishment. :thumbup:

I have been playing with some of my artsy treatments on some of my OoF shots just save them from the delete button :wink:

Thanks for your comment. The three shots were an attempt to get the best focus that I could get of the same bug. There is only seconds between shots. The third shot was a real surprise to me when I took a look on the computer. I think in focus or not the third shot is quite comical.
