, 1/2000 f/9.0, ISO 2000, hand held. Cremona, Italy.

Stavo cercando di seguire un paio di esemplari di sfinge colibrì (Macroglossum stellatarum) che si aggiravano sul caprifoglio quando ha fatto rumorosamente irruzione il soggetto di questa foto. Sono riuscito ad immortalarlo in fase di atterraggio sul fiore. Scatto effettuato con 300mm+65mm di tubi di prolunga #InsettiInVolo

Fantastic, knowing the difficulty in trying to portray this subject * * (Xylocopa violacea) I can only compliment you. Good Boy. Exceptional also the machine, an extraordinary cleaning even at ISO 2000, something not common today in the market where SLRs are becoming more compact * * also in performance. Hello.

here my shot (certainly not comparable to this your) where I tried to catch the elusive subject; unfortunately he was away on a time of Wisteria about two meters away from me, I could get closer I would have done the shot with my 85mm. micro nikkor. Patience, will be for the next * * Carpenter bee :)
