Great as always, 5 to 10 being of particular note.

3 is just stunning in its composition, just feels/looks right. I'm also fond of 4, 5 & 6. Great shots!

Personally, not keen on 1 & 2. Mostly because they pale in comparison with the others.

I particularly like the pose captured in the second photo. The bokeh is also very pleasant.

In that case I am also attaching my example of dragonfly. It's a North American square-bodied "sucker" species, often found near medium or small hi-fi racks, as well as on mobile players

They still make those or have you just had that a while?

Another great set, Dan! I tried to get the elusive 'in flight' shot this week but didn't manage it as the one I found was moving the whole time and did not stop. Especially when getting territorial with another male..now that would have been some shot!
I pre-set the focus on my DA*300 20 about 2m so it wouldn't have far to travel and then used AF-S. Still really hard as they really don't hover for long. Especially when there are other males or females nearby.
Thanks for the tip - I'll give that a try when I'm next out, hopefully later on in the week 🙂
Good luck! Hopefully you'll get some decent shots.

Looks to be in very good condition and a very keen price for a decent FF lens.

Has it had the mount alteration done for the K-1?
What is this modification of which you speak?
