In flight shots I don't think need really high speed because it all depends on your panning right?
I haven't got the chance to try, but when I get a macro lens, will "report" back lol  laugh.gif

Hmm, not bad  rclxms.gif
The picture size is a bit unique though haha..
Imho, I think its a bit too grainy, might get better results by increasing LR noise-reduction> Luminescence, and using the brush tool to "paint" the eyes, then increase sharpness from there. That way only the eyes will look sharp, and not everything else, which is a bit obvious?

Just my noob 2 cents, I am no sifu  icon_rolleyes.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

oooo ok ....noted ...
i just crop the eye part, seems the eye part so detail .. blush.gif

Hey, this one looks pretty much like the one I took last week!

They probably turn in to the same moth, or at least closely related ones  thumbup.gif
I am no pro, but I think the shot could be focused better  hmm.gif
In general the eyes of the subject (if it has one) should be in focus for the shot. There are actually 2 pairs of eyes beneath the orange stalks on the head  laugh.gif
Having said that, its very very difficult to focus on the eyes because there's so many "hairs" in the way, but at least can try focusing on its head I suppose?
I will probably crop around 1/4 off the bottom of the photo, removing the leaf~
Just my 2 cents, still learning... worms/millepedes/centipedes/caterpillar are all very hard to compose and shoot, especially those that are constantly moving, keep it up yo~  notworthy.gif

*I also noticed most of your photos have dark backgrounds, are they taken during the night? Or do you just use powerful flash?  hmm.gif
*
too far from anything to be a background
was holding it, while taking the shot
cause it constantly moving this the best i can do

Neurothermis fluctuans dragonflies are some of the most common in Malaysia. I'm pretty sure everyone has seen them before hovering or perching around rivers and streams thumbup.gif

The curious thing is that the female and immature adults can be really different in terms of looks  hmm.gif

These dragonflies are very sensitive to movements, had to really move like a ninja to get close to them laugh.gif The trick is to move very slowly towards it, and stop whenever its head moves (sensing you). With enough patience, the shot will be yours~

Walao eh, damn detailed this one laugh.gif
Its eating a caterpillar? hmm.gif

I think for this shot, the orange hole at the upper left is a bit distracting. Perhaps can try changing the hue settings, try to make it into green color, so that it blends better?  hmm.gif

hehe ok bro, noted
