Hello Scott.....

Very impressive capture, these guys are FAST. The skeeter is a plus. Well done.

Unbelievable catch of a speedster. The bug is a bonus.

Now you add low angled light and a billful to your swallow images. Yikes you are good. Fantastic catch Scott.

Scott, a wonderful image, I have been trying to get some swallw shots myself but have found that my D60's AF is lacking. Did You use AF or MF, ATM I am thinking of MF as the only possibilty for me.

Thanks. This is manual focus. AF on ANY camera may be a little slow for this, but there's no such thing as a camera that's too slow, as long as it's got fast shutter speeds!
