For ingenuity and technical prowess, there are few exploratory projects around the Lake that can rival that of Derek Kite’s photography: He has set out to take pictures of bats. But, not just bats in a roost, but bats on the wing while hunting insects over the Lake at night.
This is like the proverbial problem of finding a black cat in a coal cellar, but with the added difficulty that the cat (the bat in this case) is not only unseen in the darkness, but is passing through the cellar at a high speed.
The bat banks as it swings around to capture an insect.
