The fact that he's also willing to share his expertise, deserves a medal. I also notice that this posting is probably pre-2009, (see comments at bottom of page) so what level of sophistication does he employ now?!!

Need a high speed trigger for that sort of stuff? Can't say I'd noticed 
Hopefully get some new beastie action shots this year.....those ones are a few years old  (shot on a 300D with the MP-E and twin-flash)

Find somewhere with loads of flowers on a nice day and press the shutter button with your finger as the subject comes into land. Sometimes they hover in (roughly) the same spot for a while
