2. Thanks! I used a Canon EOS R8 with a Sigma 100-400mm lens for these photos

3. Neat! At which F-stop? Your bokeh is really blur-cool. Is the R8 full-frame/mirrorless?

[Mousetoescamper]

4. Set at f6.3. Yes, the R8 is a full-frame mirrorless camera

8. Beautiful work

I’ve never seen this variety. Probably don’t exist here in North Texas.

Love damsel flies. Had a beautiful jeweled one land on me years ago and felt strangely honored.
