I've been trying to photograph a butterfly on a Pyramidal Orchid for years. At last! A Spotted Fritillary in the Drome region of France.

Did some photographing of swallows in flight recently on a trip to New Zealand - really hard subject but I was pleased with these.

Those are good, I like the one having a dip. I've spent a bit of time photographing these guys and they are very very difficult. I'm still not sure if best method is trying to track them as they come through or just being patient at an exact spot they are likely to go through.

The best method is to just give up and take photos of the sky instead - that's always been the end result for me anyway!

Thanks - was really hard! I found a spot they were constantly flew through and then focused on them as soon as they entered the fame. Majority out of focus but after a few hours got a few that were in focus.

I bought a marco tube pack on line for cheap, the electronics in one doesn't work, but I had a play in the garden today.
