Wow...shooting a good dragonfly is tough stuff. My lens never wants to focus on it, it just searches around, I always have to revert to MF.

This is one of my better dragonfly pics...pic

My lens only goes up to 55mm so I have to get ass close to these things in order to get a shot...which then narrows the DOF and softens the picture.

I'm hoping to get a 70-300 soon.

Wow...I'm impressed by a lot of the landscape pics. The "ghost" one is really creative! :thumbsup:

 

[aiex]

how did you do the one with the ghost? was it flash and long exposure?

Lens?

I've got some dragonfly/butterfly pictures taken at F2.8 with my Tamron 28-75.

The results are decent but not as sharp as I'd like at F2.8: PICS.

 

[DeviousTrap]

1
2

Both were taken within the last two weeks. Too lazy too find anything older.

Photoblog and some photos I've taken are in signature...🙂

Well, you've got the lens wide open, which will naturally give you softer pics. Try something like 5.6 to see if you get better results.
