Re: PESO: Dragonfly

[John]

Yeah, I use the center spot for focus too.

I don't know that much about dragonflies or other flying insects, but I have 
observed that they sometimes move in patterns. If I watch them long enough they 
seem to return to the same spot again and again - either to perch or to hover.


The only success I've had photographing them came from focusing on one before it 
darts off, refining focus when it comes back and maybe being able to get the 
shot the third time.


Of course, that only works with the ones that do come back again and again. I 
don't know get good photos of the other ones


I keep meaning to RTFM for the K-1 and see if it will let you set a pattern 
using just the center spot & the 4 spots that form a cross around it. But every 
time I try to use all the spots it focuses on something else besides what I'm 
trying to photograph.


I really haven't been doing much photography. This covid thing has sapped my 
will and I hardly ever go out any more. When I do go out it's only to get an 
errand done so I can get back into isolation.

The problem with dragonflies/damselfies (as well as butterflies) is their 
unpredictectable traject. Some species have the habit to hang sometimes 
stationary which makes it a lot easier.
But others like the great emperor move for hours very fast on sunny days (up to 
38 km/h).
Fast AF tracking as on some newer model camera's may be helpful but you still 
need  to get your subject in the centre of your viewer.

Took me a while to learn, but it works a lot better than manual focus works

Even ON the tripod, Auto-Focus works better for me. Gets me close enough that 
focus peaking in live view will work with my tired old worn out eyes.

Re: PESO: Dragonfly

[mike wilson]

Either an immature male Sympetrum striolatum or a male Sympetrum vulgatum.  Saw 
one myself last weekend.  Around here, it's a bit late for the former but the 
latter is really rare.  I still can't decide which one it was.

The Artificial Intelligence program of the Dutch nature observation 
reporting site waarneming.nl shows > 99 % assurance for your picture 
that it is the striolatum ("bruinrode").
The vulgatum ("steenrode") species may be recognized by their long 
"drooping mustache".


Of course I haven't reported this one.

As if living in the suburbs of a transapocalyptic nightmare isn’t bad enough, 
you have to go and post photos that make me feel like I’m incompetent at 
photography as well!

Re: Peso-Dragonfly on Seed Pod

That's interesting, Ann. I gather Larry
was able to as well.
I had left out a couple foreword 
slashes.
Did you ask Larry? I saw his kind comment, but received no actual
post from him.

Dragonflies will pose for you. Really. Just get close to their perch and pop 
your flash at them once, maybe twice. They may fly away, but not far, and will 
soon return to the same perch, so keep focused on it.

They, being predators of smaller flying insects, will for a time stay close to 
a new light source which might attract smaller insects and provide them an easy 
meal. Or maybe they just think the flash is cool.

Works 66.66 percent of the time, the failures I attribute to anti-social 
dragonfly disorder, or a full bug tummy.

Great shots, Walter.  I prefer the first, as I find it more dramatic.

Just a little nit:  I find that string (or thread or whatever) quite
bright and somewhat distracting.  Perhaps it could be toned down just
a teensy bit.

Otherwise, both are amazing shots.  Great detail, clarity and colours

Re: PESO: Dragonfly

[Walter Hamler]

Thanks Bob and Frank for the comments.
I almost grabbed a can of black spraypaint to paint the clothsline,
but figured the smell would drive the dragonfly away (I assume they
can smell?)
Believe it or not this is the first time I have ever photographed a
dragonfly. When I was a kid I used to play with them and get them to
land on a short stick and would carry them around like they were a
pet.
I will play with some of the shots in PS to see what I can do about the line.

Both very good, but I have to say - there have been many dragonfly

among my favorites.  What really grabs me is the dragonfly towering
above me looking down like I was something to eat.  It is most
dramatic!  Love it!
