That said I have had similar results with the 400mm lens too. A lot of practice and a lot of patience. I find that most of the dragons patrol the same route, so I study that closely. I then pick a spot where I will get a good shot but with as plain a background as possible so that autofocus can concentrate on the dragon not the background. Also some dragons hover more than others. The number of different focusing options on the 7D also helps a lot, but don't for one minute think every shot's a keeper(-:).<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11398179758088497240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808645898673238604.post-17894447152574790462014-09-04T01:29:51.572-07:002014-09-04T01:29:51.572-07:00Are those dragonfly shots with the 400?
