photoartflightBlue Dasher Panorama
This Blue Dasher flew in where I was setup for photographing Dragonflies. This is a 5 image panorama blend with overlaps. The Blue dasher is only about 1.5″ long so not to scare him off, I was using a 300mm lens with a 1.4X teleconverter with multiple extension tubes so I had ample working distance. I assembled the images in Photoshop. I got many images as the Blue Dashers were quite abundant in the area.

Cool, Reed. How big was the file?
Bob
Thanks! Between 200-300 megs.
Reed, that is a fantastic image!
Thanks! When it seems like a slow day for subjects, I try to do different ways of photographing subjects that are there. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I usually carry a bunch of extension tubes and teleconverters with me that I can pull out if needed. Lately I like panoramas or image stacks to see what I can get. If nothing else it is a learning experience.
Your welcome! Yeah I usually carry a few extension rings and lens reversing ring to.
Yes, cannot be prepared for everything, but a few spare items help in a pinch.
