I've no idea how you could possibly get these in focus! Its a special skill thats for sure ..... I also think the movement of the wings is excellent, so the shutter speed is really well judged. Impressive indeed!

Mine was shot with a Sigma 100 - 300 F4 @ 300mm and F10 with a 1/640th second exposure, ISO 3200, they do dart around a bit and earlier in the morning before it gets toooooo hot is better as once it gets to 24 deg ish and above, they are even more twitchy.

LOL, I only got 3 shots before he moved off, a female appeared about an hour later and spent 10 mins inspecting shady areas and eventually settled on a crevice and promptly laid her eggs behind a load of leaf and moss cover,.

I shall persevere 😊

Hi Rob,

Why high ISO on a bright day ? I used mine yesterday afternoon in the shade - K1 - ISO 3200 - 1/125 sec - F10

Thanks Nigel,

I think in hindsight, I should have grabbed a shot with the gate opened a tad, it was a good suggestion made by John, there is fairly major road just to the left of the image which I was keen to lose in camera.

I did have a shooting partner with me and he could have ensured the sheep didn't make a break for freedom for a minute or two.

It's thinking of these alternatives at the time and on this occasion, it didn't occur to me

I do like it and agree the fence helps with foreground interest. Maybe if the gate was open it would invite you onto the moor?

Good idea John, didn't consider that at the time, still no problem, its only 155 miles away

Thanks Stuart,

Take the fence away and there's no foreground, I understand where you are coming from, I used the fence on the left of the frame to draw the viewer into the image as well as taking the busy road out of frame, if you take the gate / fence out etc, its a bland landscape with no foreground interest.
