Often when I'm out with Bowie (the dog) I try to get a shot of insects, I've had a lot of time to tweak camera settings and experiment. But when it comes to catching focus I usually just leave it to the auto focus gods and hope for the best, I think l deleted 100 shots to get this one.

Yeah I probably have a success rate close to 1000 - 1 for shots like this. The methodology is ‘spray and pray’ imo. Fortunately all digital photos cost is disk space
