    Unfortunately, I had a faulty mic during this video. The audio didn't peak, but it does sound a bit muffled or strange; sorry about that. It'll be fixed for the next one!

    I watched Jamy's video, but this is on another level. Like I said, he's the best at stacking, and you're the best at capturing footage in flight.

    Excellent! Great tips. I&apos;ve nailed photos of d&apos;flies at rest, haven&apos;t even tried in flight, but will give it a go.<br>What a surprise to see both Christine and Jamie in this video. I must admit that my favorites are Christine&apos;s still images. <br>Of course, I already follow Jamie. Your bloopers are priceless, especially when you stand next to Jamie, who looks to be crazy tall. More collabs please!

    Thanks so much for the pointers. &nbsp;Today, I went out with a Sony a1, &nbsp;a sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 gm lens, and a 1.4x TC. &nbsp;Followed your recommendations and shot at efl 560mm, 1/4000, f/8, ISO 2500 in bright daylight. &nbsp;Got by far the best flying dragonflies photos of my life!
