Yes, it took a ton of continuous shots to get this one....thanks Canon! Settings ISO 800 @ 1/2500sec, f/5.6. Just wish my zoom 75-300 had a lower f stops.

Perfect! The way these guys flit around it is almost impossible to catch them in the air. You did great.

Hi, Steve. You were in right place for a cool shot! Looks like a Libellula incesta or Blue Skimmer (my guess). Dragonflies are always a neat subject... these are common around here too. Al
