A couple of years ago I took on the challenge of trying to capture dragonflies in flight. My good friend and photo buddy, John, had already had amazing success with this and was generous enough to give me some good tips, the key one of which was "use manual focus". Having learned photography in the days before there was autofocus (or auto anything for that matter) probably helped, but it still took many hours of practice and experimentation until I could get consistently happy results. As for getting flight shots of butterflies - well, that's still a "work in progress". I'll let you know if I have any luck with that.
