I'm soooo envious, Ron! (not really!) I can't even get a shot of something standing still let alone MOVING! AWESOME action shot, my friend! FABULOUS! #3051671

Perfect catch with fantastic wide crop, Ronald!! Don't you just love doing close ups and macros? #3051722

Ronald F. Fischer July 19, 2006

Thank you very much Susan; I certainly do enjoy close up work and macros! I have found that it is much easier to get flying insects with my 70-200 Canon L f/4 lens. I can sit back about 4 feet from the subject, with the lens at 200mm, and get a pretty decent close up! #3051758
