Very pretty bugs Phil. It's nice to see these things whether or not there's much visible at night.

Ta chaps.

 

I got the EM 1 mainly for carting around reserves and the like Mick. Its smaller and lighter than the Nikon especially with telephoto attached. The lens I use mainly for this type of stuff is the lowly 40-150mm micro four thirds Zuiko ED telephoto. This gives full frame equiv of 80-300mm range. It feels and looks plasticy but it is light weight, small and has a great range, it ain't bad for macro either as can be seen from these although it isn't a macro lens.

 

Here's another dragonfly, this one buzzed me about 6" from my face but wouldn't remain steady enough to snap in flight so I had to wait for it to land for a few seconds, so he chose a really difficult spot, but it makes an interesting pic.
