Re: Hover Flight
Thanks guys
well I did have quite a few attempts, tried as they approached the flower but difficult to focus in time although I almost got away with one at 1/200. With this one I roughly focussed on the flower petal and then waited for one to hover over it and did a burst of 3 shots - luckily they were all in focusWell you make it look easy!!.......I'm surprised you got away with that at 1/640
