How fast do you think those wings are beating??? Superb macros, Mick!

I need to find new verbs!

Upped and steemed

if you want to freeze those wings in motion you will need a shutter speed of +1/400 so they beat pretty fast

Fantastic shots @stresskiller, but what was the exposure here? Upvoted, resteemed & DPS.
