I was about 6 feet away. I used my Tamaron 70-300 and then they were edited and cropped in PS.

Thanks

Very nice Frank...how come I never ever see these things.....ok, once in a blue moon, sometimes obliterated on my windshield, but never when I have my camera around!

Hi Sparkie
What an awesome set of photos. These gorgeous creatures are never easy to capture and you certainly seem to have the right technique. Beautifully sharp with perfect exposure. Top marks

These captures are so good Frank. So much detail and colour. You really nailed them all. Fantastic work Buddy.
