First 2024 Damsels.

[Dale.]

I'd fancied a break from the Kingfishers and ended up with my first Damsel of the year. I'd forgotten how challenging they can be, especially on a warm, humid day, they weren't for settling. Not perfect but helping me get my eye in again.

There are tons of them about at the moment.

R7, Canon EF 100mm f2.8L.

A shot I've wanted for a long time but it's very difficult, mainly due to the DOF in so close. I'm yet to nail it, despite stacking on the R7, I'll keep trying.

Lovely work, Dale

Mirrorless stacking is witchcraft

Cheers Gav. Even with stacking in camera as well as it merging the image, I've still not cracked it. I will.

Love my 5Div too, it ain't going anywhere in the near future.

Great shots Dale

Cheers Bob, you should come with me one day soon.

Great stuff, well done.

Cheers Jak.

Cheers Keith. I've honestly never seen so many as I have this year.

That last shot is really good Dale. I chased a Damsel around for a while last week at Langford Lakes, so I know how difficult it can be to get a decent shot. Good job!

Cheers Gary.

Not to influence you in any way but it is a beautiful lens. The RF version might be even better.

Can you believe it, the EF and RF versions are in the, "Super Test", of this month's, "Photo plus magazine"? It must be a sign.

Naturally, I've explained this to catering, yet she gave me a strange look. This could mean two things, so I'm optimistic

Must be fate.
