I have seen lots of photos of animal, birds, flowers, bees in this
newsgroup and other camera talk fourms. I have seen beautiful pictures
of humming birds frozen by the camera's extremelly fast shutter speed.
However, I rarely see a good quality photo of a flying fish. What I
mean by flying fish is not a fish caught by a flying bird. I am
thinking of a tropical fish that has wings and jumps and glides in the
ocean. My question is whether someone in this newsgroup took a photo
of a flying fish and can share it in this newsgroup, or show where
anyone can access and see the photo(s). I found only a trickle number
of photos when I search the flying fish photos in Google images,
Photo.net or Pbase. There must be those enthusiast photographers who
also have habits of sport fishing, or perhaps spent some time near
Barbados and had a chance to take that rare photos. Thanks for sharing
any photos of a flying fish.

During WW II, I was an infantry rifleman in the Pacific. On
our way to Leyte for the landing, we were allowed to take
rifle practice by shooting at flying fish. I never hit one,
and nobody else ever told me he did. They come out of the
water unexpectedly, fly erratically for two or three
seconds, and drop back into the water. They are VERY
difficult targets for a rifle or a camera.

After over a hundred thousand miles of offshore sailing, having been
nailed in the forehead by one, having heard one hit the mainsail and
bounce down through the back of the collar of the helmsman's shirt and
after having removed scores of them from the deck in the morning I can
tell you Marvin is absolutely right and Nervous Nick's first link is
probably the best picture you'll ever find of one in flight.
Hummingbirds are easy, hang up a feeder and wait for them to show up.
I know of nothing more fleeting nor ethereal than a flying fish in
flight.

Now, the hard one would be catching hatchet fish when they are flying.
Tiny, with only short flights, plus they live in the Amazon.

Thanks Martin and Babalooix, both very interesting stories!
