A backlit dragonfly in flight, heavily cropped:
Now don't get me wrong, df's are super cool and some folks have given many of the various species some really cool names too. While perhaps not the coolest name, I'm thinking this might be a horned clubtail. Hard to tell in this image, but the many other shots I took, most out of focus, suggests it might.
What I'd like to know, using my 7D with a 70-200 4.0f, how should I best set the camera up? I have back button focus already established. I'm a bit concerned about the lens as it really had a tough time focusing in on the insect, but then I tend to expect too much. The insect was about 10 feet away, give or take 40 yards! Lol! They have this maddening habit of hovering in place just so you can draw a bead on'm and then they skirt the shutter squeeze only to return back to where they once were. I recall Andrew's 5D3 workout and he got awesome results.
