Flying Away 01

DSC_4639a.jpg
Someone was asked on my last update picture "Flying Away":
"How many shots did it take to get this guy in flight?"
When you use a 200mm Zoom lens+2X teleconveter.
Shot a flying butterfly? Just try it yourself.
You will know.
The answer will be on tomorrow's Flying Away 02.

I've tried this many times with my 75-300. So far I have been unsucessful.
Butterflies are very hard to shoot, you did very well Tom. Great job!
