I used manual as AF was too wobbly as any movement made it want to lock elsewhere. Anyway, this was the best shot, and I'm really happy with it.

Double the fun?

I couldn't get close to these. They would fly away while still joined if I tried getting too close. Using 28-300mm at 300mm f/10 1/250s ISO400. 50% crop, bit of highlight reduction and sharpening.

I think I finally got this right. I first posted on a separate thread, then clicked new topic while trying to post to this thread, but I think I am finally there.
This little guy was buzzing around Strahl Lake in Brown County State Park.

Nice shot bebrady. A few blown highlights but the critical sharpness is there so good job!

I don't think I was at min distance for this shot. Getting that close to an insect before it decides to disappear is kinda tricky.

This was a happy accident today. I didn't even know I had him until I got the pics off my camera.
