Here are 2 captures I got of a dragonfly in flight. For those of you who say it is hard to get birds in flight, try getting one of a dragonfly! They are small and slender and are constantly moving, so are hard to get a focus on. Out of about 10 tries these are the best ones.
I was thinking that one way to try this is to shoot a video with the camera, then one can pick the frame(s) that are in focus.
That would probably be the best way. I was just doing this as a challenge to myself to see if I could get a still image of a dragonfly in flight. It's pretty hard to do.
