Yesterday's shots
Finally got a Dragonfly with my 100mm F2.8L! I had to lean over some reeds/nettles and shoot with my arms out in front of me in liveview to get this close but it still looks better than my 100-400 I think (despite a fairly large crop). First is with the 100mm and the rest of the Dragonflys are with the 100-400
The Dragonfly was hunting from the same few reeds for a while so after the still shots I even had time to video for a while
You get to see it land/take off a few times and come back with what looks like a Mayfly for lunch
