I have successfully captured some decent images, or what I would like to think are decent images of bats in flight. I can assure you, it was way easier to capture the images of them at rest, than it was for this capture series. Out of 102 exposures, I had about 80 images than turned out pretty decent. Here are a few of them. Enjoy

Very well done. Prefocus and flash?

I've tried to take pictures of those things coming from under the bridge at Austin and they are NOT standing still. You have some great shots, congrats

Very fine, and unusual! We have them here, flying over the patio at dusk when we eat outside. Never thought to try, though I usually have a camera on the table. Thanks!
