Great series of captures showing the beauty of this dragon, and the power of the mpe. Well done John.

Thanks Trevor!

Super shots of a stunning insect. I wonder if we'll ever see this species in the UK due to climate change?

They are moving north. I know of a few photogrphers who are shooting them in Spain and France.

Stunning set DT, my least favorite is the last one, I find it hasn't enough DOF. Pretty cool power of magnification though.

The price I pay for having to shoot at F8 to cut through some of the diffraction. The next time I find one that's cooperative I'll shoot it at 5x and a variety of apertures and post the results.

Were these taken with a camera or a microscope? Excellent! --Rick

Thanks Rick! The MPE-65 is some really wonderful glass...

Zowie!
So that's what 5x looks like!
Colorful little brute too!

Thanks!

Great series, I'm very impressed, dragonfly are sometimes very difficult to shoot at 1x, so I'just can't imagine how difficult it is to get such shoot at 2x to 5x !

Congrats

Laurent.
