More Hovers in Flight.

[IanClark]

Recently posted a few shots of Marmalade hovers in flight... well they've been surveying the garden again. I think these ones are the best for photographing as they tend to do less erratic changing in direction when flying or hovering.

Touchdown - Different hover though.

Stunning pictures. How do you get them so sharp when they are moving? I can't get them this sharp when they are still

A fast enough shutter speed mostly. 1/200th and faster.

Remember if you go faster on the shutter then you'd need to ensure your flash has hi-speed sync and you may have to open up your aperture or increase ISO.

Also, this particular species of Hover tends to survey its surroundings quite a lot so will often hover in the exact same position for a good 2 or 3 seconds before darting off in a different direction. They are also very curious.
