I have been working on taking photos of dragon flys in flight, It is truly challenging. The Dragon flys have been plentiful and colorful this year.
You have been impressively successful ! - thanks for sharing.
Very impressive in flight images!

Great job! They certainly challenge focus speed on your lens'! ;-)
Thank you everyone for looking at my photos. I have learned a lot from this. Autofocus will get you close but when there moving no matter how your camera is set, manual focus is a must.
If anyone is interested, I use a 600mm lense shutter speed 1/1600. A lot of people use 1/2000 but I get too much digital noise at that speed because of higher ISO and 1/1600 will stop most wings. A=F8 and auto ISO because you are are moving from light to dark really fast. I have a Nikon D5300 and I use a Monopod.
Something I've not yet been able to master. Thanks for sharing.
I slowed the shutter speed down to show motion but the rest of him moves too
