Sometimes you just get lucky. I caught this one in mid-flight using the macro mode and a teleconverter at the same time. I focused manually, to infinity (macro) and shot a burst to try to catch one good shot. It worked. -Kurt Horsley

That is very cool. I would never be so lucky!

That is really neat - interesting to see how it stows its legs while in flight. Reminds me of a program I saw a while back about a guy who was using high speed cameras running at hundreds of frames per second to document dragonfly flying techniques.
