Hi Didier,
A very impressive in flight shot on this Stag Beetle. I think you have mastered flying bugs very well. I hvae tried these with little success. Nice detail, and the wing blur is perfect for this shot.
Well done again!

Merveilleuse image, d'autant plus réussie que le sujet des insectes en vol est loin d'être facile !
Félicitations. Emmanuel

Bonjour Didier ! Ces gros insectes sont devenus si rares dans ma région que l'on n'en voit presque plus jamais. Vous avez bien de la chance d'en avoir trouvé un, et d'avoir réussi à le photographier en plein vol. C'est une image formidable. J'aime beaucoup les couleurs et la lumièreainsi que l'impression de bmouvement que donnent ces ailes floues. Bien joué !
Valérie.

An amazing action shot. The fact that the light is so good under these difficult circumstances is testament to your photographic skills. TFS,

That creature looks like it could do some harm! Nice shot, like the back light coming through.

Hi Didier
Was your camera mounted on a state-of-the-art super spy ware mechanism, fitted with an ultra sonic tracking, infra red measuring, and laser precision activated device?
You have done well to capture this beetle in flight and although there are quite a number of stag beetle photos on TN this seems to be the first one showing it in flight.
A great composition with good colour definition, fine details, a superb BG, and well handled exposure. You managed to capture the movement rather well, and it is apparent that the wings moved so fast that the 1/250 shutter speed was by far too slow to freeze it completely.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
