Hi Moose,

Pardon me for snooping, but I looked at your Dragonfly images. You've some great shots there, and your new walk-around camera looks like it can hold its own with the bigger boys.

That's nice. The usual DoF effect. The only way to beat that seems to be to shoot from directly above or do focus bracketing.

Here's the gallery (13 images)

I don't think they'll win me a wildlife photographer of the year award and
the bokeh in some will be a contentious issue,

Several to like. I like the first couple of hovering shots. I've not tried that, but now plan to.

One thing you may know is that, like some flutterbys and hummingbirds, they tend to find a perch they like and return to it, over and over. So, one may set up on that spot, and be ready.

but there are worse ways to spend a lunchtime.

Indeed!

Gear? Most of mine have been with PLeica 100-400 on E-M5 II or GX9, but I recently got a good one with my new Panny ZS200 Travel/compact camera. It's the first one in my little dragonfly gallery. <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=22160>

The next three were shot in Bhutan. Two of them sure look a lot like ours.
