Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.
Bat in Flight at Dusk. I am looking for suggestions how to better capture images of flying bats. This image was taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 400 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 12800, f/2.8, 1/320 sec). The bats were moving too fast and it was too dark to autofocus. So I manually set the focus for about 10 meters (~33 feet), followed the bats, and tried to press the shutter button when they were in focus.
