About ....doing what it does best. Shot in mid-air, requiring much patience & manual focussing! Dedicated to Roberto & Peter Houtermeyers, who do this type of shot with ease & much better than me, but it was fun chasing this creature around my garden trying something similar with a big zoom!
ISO 800.

Hi Peter, I tried autofocus, but it would not lock-on, so used manual focus & a lot of patience!!!!
Cheers,
Steve.

Well captured Steve! Thanks for the credit you give me.........but i have not yet captured a hoverfly flying . I have been trying a lot but no succes yet.The details on yours are exellent though. How do you focus on something as tiny as a fly when it moves around? Doesend your lens hunt all the time?
