of course I can crank the ISO but if there's a more elegant solution I'm all ears
I can go to f/1.8, sure, and test out the AF.C on my cameras, yet it still might not be fast enough
maybe f/1.8, ISO-1600 or ISO-3200 would be enough speed
but then I question how I would get a good composition. spray and pray? meh. tree branches? eh. looking up into the sky beneath a street light? yeah, maybe, if I could get lucky with one flying low enough. surprising how low they fly around sometimes.
