Anyone else as mad as me in trying to catch insects in flight (buy a lot of film!!) Caught this one last summer....  Caught it again on the ground this year....  Regards - John |

Good capture, John. What camera/lens combo were you shooting with? You did a lot better than I ever could on the 'insect in flight' shot. Impressive!

First was Praktica BC1 - think I had a little zoom on it, but the technique was to set the focus and guess when I thought the insect had got there.
Second was Canon EOS 1000FN with 35 - 70 Sigma zoom. Not a very close approach lens that - could have poked a lens in the moth's eye if the lens had been up to it.
Regards - John

Neat moth there John. Most of my attempts at butterfly pictures on the move have turned out to be pretty dismal. Guess I need more practice.

You are really dedicated to persistantly pursue a small insect in flight without going crazy. A most notable capture though. Thanks for sharing it. I, for one , have never tried it.
