These move slowly enough for you!Today I went out at the ponds again. It was a warm week and I was finally awaiting the dragonflies but didn't see any of them.
Not over the water not in the reed.
But then I saw those and knew they were there:

The Green Eyed and the Downy Emerald are new ones for me. Well done!First downy emerald DIF this year.
Last year they were really nasty and I didn't get much chances.
This year they were really nice but my skills had to wake up again.
Still pretty difficult light: ISO3200, 1/1250, f/8, I would have preferred to stay below ISO2000

looks pretty good to me, just don't push the colors to much (on other hand it's your choice: if you like it that way - go on!).I just wanted to check how a dragonfly at 1000mm will look like.
Common Darter (I guess)
RF 100-500 +2.X extender from about 3m away.

Absolutely (his comment is just bonus I wish it was the same way with the cameras/lenses - I mean buy one get two)!Great shot! Well done, Alan.
I'm sure I posted some of them last year. But I am slow as you know/saidThe Green Eyed and the Downy Emerald are new ones for me. Well done!
Thanks a lot. I'll try to go close to what I see. I was told that looking through eye glasses that change the shade with light is no good for photography because the perceived color is not what it actually is. Perhaps that is the reason. I'll try to remember your advice. Thanks.looks pretty good to me, just don't push the colors to much (on other hand it's your choice: if you like it that way - go on!).
Great shots again, AlanI went out today to catch some Banded Demoiselles in flight,
But that was the question "we all" were waiting for. So please, next time take your R5 with you, too.... decided to dig out a DSLR for the job as it needs an AF that can pick out a very erratic and fast moving subject against a background and I wasn't sure mirrorless woud be up to it. ...
