    Yes, and I wanted to shoot some dragonflies also. There were quite a few of them today but, as they wouldn't light anywhere, I had to settle for a dumb scorpion :tough

    Thanks Skippy!

    The wind was terrible yesterday -but I shot in between the gusts. Took 289 frames total (not all dragons) but only kept 13...
