Impressive! Dry flies in your hatband to attract them?

Great practice! I use dragonflies and Swallows and Butterflies (the hardest) for practice. Peering through that narrow tube trying to find that damn critter flitting this way and that can make image capture a real adventure all by itself!
Thanx for sharing these great, detailed images.

#2 is amazing. I am struggling with butterflies in a butterfly conservatory - not trivial. Keep up the great work and stay well.

These shots are amazing Larry. Well done. I find them the hardest. When I decide to do in flight dragon shots that's all I do for the day. Plenty of time spent studying their flight patterns and then ripping off a lot of shots.
