Had a good day out in the sun today. Managed to get some Dragonflies in flight, not very easy.

Thanks again Alby.
The trick is to watch them for some time and look for the pattern that they fly
in.

Brian, I have had that lense for a couple of years now and its brilliant for DFs in flight, unfortunately I havent had a chance to try and get some with it this year due to the weather. You will love that lense, its so versatile - I have captured some great flower pics in the past with the limiter on.

I tried to catch a southern hawker today but couldn't nail until it settled, so I take my hat off to a master of the art.
