From Mallorca, A Scarlet Darter ...

Lovely.
I am always enchanted by the colors with which the evolution has decorated the Odonata.

I hope you really enjoyed your stay there. Wonderful island, especially when you leave the beach

Couldn't use all pictures due to movement of the wings and leaves.

Excellent series, Nemorino.

Ménage à trois?

 

[Nemorino]

Probably not , just mobbing at the pond

Really great moment! Kudos!

Ménage à trois?

Not so much. More like "Killing a couple!"

 

[Maximilian]

A lot of work to do.
Some darters from late September, I now found the time to process.

 

[Maximilian]

In mid of October, I took these darters during oviposition. This is the best out of about 20

5D4, 100-400L II + TC, @560mm, f/10, 1/800, ISO1600


At the same time, my son was shooting from the opposite bank of the stream.
It was his first time trying on DIF. Using my 200D and the stupid 9-point AF locking on the bricks, these were the best two out of about 80 shots.
Still okay.
But look what was hiding in a crack, and we recognized it only back at home...

200D, 70-300DO, @300mm, f/5.6, 1/800, ISO800

But they were working on more dragons for you to get
Nice one!
Here in Ger winter is coming back. Temps below freezing and dragons are at least 3 to 4 months away.

You have the very first post in this forum from 2018! Congrats on still being at it! The quality in the pictures from then and now is tenfold (on a tech. level).
