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've nailed photos of d'flies at rest, haven'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'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. Today, I went out with a Sony a1, a sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 gm lens, and a 1.4x TC. Followed your recommendations and shot at efl 560mm, 1/4000, f/8, ISO 2500 in bright daylight. Got by far the best flying dragonflies photos of my life!
