Darter on a fence

Darter dragonfly sitting on a fence facing away from the sun. Decided to try some natural light/fill flash shots. All focus stacked using zerene.

Fantastic closeup! Last 2 are my fave!

Great shots. I am partial to #3 because of the beautiful detail on the thorax that you captured.

Can you explain the settings for 'natural light/fill flash'? did you just dial down the FEC and keep your normal manual settings, or something else?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the comments SB and Dan - appreciated

Dan, No I was in TV (shutter priority) mode for this so the exposure was for daylight and yes I did use the flash with a little -ve FEC. I needed a bit of front flash as the dragonfly was facing away from the sun.
