Pied Kingfisher hovers over it's pray, until it has locked it's pray. After locking it's pray, Pied Kingfisher dives dives vertically directly at it's pray.
While hovering, Pied Kingfisher manages to remain stationary in air while locking it's prey. It's great sight to watch.
This is uncropped image.
Canon 1000D + Sigma 70–300mm f/4–5.6 APO DG Macro lens doesn't help much in getting a sharp images.

It took me a while to convince the people I was with that hovering on a nice sunny day like this is a piece of cake, but air sea rescue crews (even princes) can't choose the weather when they get a call, so this must be a cornerstone of their training.

A hover fly underneath a forest canopy. This was particularly difficult to take considering the shallow depth of field of f / 2.8 and the movement of the hover fly. It took a large number of wasted shots to give just this one that was in focus and not blurred. Even at a shutter speed of 1 / 800 sec, you can see the wings of the hover fly are blurry. I believe they flap something like 2,000 times a second.

Managed to capture some shots of this Kestrel as she was scouring the fields surrounding Broxburn,West Lothian on a gorgeous winters evening.
Fast! We can do fast here, fast enough to see wings flapping. Been at these for an hour, and this is the only good one. Hard to get them in the light and focussed, but one good one is well worth the work. VIEW LARGE, it resolves!
After the swans and the bubbles, I think I've found a new subject. Didn't even have to go looking two feet past my front door!
I didn't think it would possible to capture a flying bee from this close-up, because the depth of field from f/2.8 (need for speed) gets shorter as you get closer, comparitively, so I thought I'd get so little of him in focus that it would look too abstract. As it is, I think it's worked out nicely.
I don't think one can tire of seeing the ability of hummers to hover. I watched these little guys for some time in the rain, until we had to rush off in time to get ready for our flight home.
I could not freeze the whole bird, but it seems its head was staying quite still even as the little wings were beating at phenomenal speed. This is a Green-crowned Brilliant
I believe this is a hover fly of some description. Looks like he's having a spot of lunch - although the pollen looks suspiciously like some other banned substance. He'll be flying-high. :-)
Life is action. While I enjoy taking pictures of flowers, guitars, trinkets and things, I see the phrase "still life" as an oxymoron. To me the heart and soul of photography is capturing life, and life is.....

The Hoover Laboratory was built in 1941 to house biology laboratories. In 2002 it was renovated and now houses EMU's Business and Finance department.
The building was designed by Ypsilanti architect Ralph Gerganoff.
Taking a picture of a dragonfly in mid-flight is hard. I wish it was a little clearer, but I can't complain about the bokeh.
Tried out my new Lumix Macro Lens. Handheld and manual focus. Regarding the manual focus, I adjust the focus ring to get the size of composition in shot and then I move the camera back and forth until I get the focus on the fly and snap away and hope for the best. Obviously I take numerous shots many of which I delete because they are out of focus but you do get a few which are clear. I find autofocus is a waste of time of small speedy objects.
