That is amazing. 400mm on a dragonfly? Wow. Mind telling me how you accomplished this photo? I'd love to be able to capture something like this.
The same way as the puffins in flight in my profile -manual focus set to a suitable distance then with fast repeat shutter, 8-12fps don't look through the lens but over it. I miss a lot but I get lots of sequences with one behind, one sharp and one in front of focus. If I try to find a very fast moving small object through the viewfinder at 400mm I almost always miss it.
Thanks again for your help and information. I'm right about to post another macro in my profile. I used the stacking program you recommended, but I still went wacky and used the shutter myself and added a bit of camera shake. So I got mostly what I set out for.. Still learning.
