I can't believe you caught that dragonfly with a 500mm lens in such detail. Bravo :applouse:

Yep, pretty amazing to catch one on the wing with a super tele. Hats off, sir.

Yup!! That is one great dragonfly photo!!

Thanks, guys.

The 300mm PF with 14TC is very similar to my old 300mm D IF-ID AF-S with a TC. Close focusing, crazy sharp. The main difference is even sharper and VR. I found used stuff in great condition and really saved a bundle.

According to a friend who is a bee expert, this is probably aggressive behavior, maybe territorial. They wrestled like this for maybe 15 seconds. BTW, it's not bee porn!

I think this is immature male Black-chinned Hummingbird from my morning photo walk. Any expert opinions welcome Regardless, he's a cute little guy.
