Quick one from today, the backlight was lovely but there was nothing I could do about the red fringing :(.

Great story behind this one. I was birding at a pond, and there was this old guy there chasing kingfishers. We chatted for a while, before he headed over to the lotuses. A few minutes later, he comes sprinting over to me, beckoning furiously, and shows me the exact place to stand to witness a gorgeous backlight hitting this dragonfly. He then proceeded to laugh at the fact that I only had a 400 5.6 with me, i.e. 3.5m MFD. It was awesome.
