I like the composition at 45 degrees. Nice picture, Maximilian.

A monster Migrant Hawker today on a butterfly tree in a meadow. These guys get around. He nearly filled the frame of the R5 and I have had to reduce the size to upload here. I wish I had had the RF 100-400mm rather than the 100-500mm or I had the 2xTC with me as I want to get a closer up of the eyes.

Great shots of a beautiful individual, Alan.

Thanks Maximilian. As you know, they are difficult to get their heads and tails in focus.

A couple more from the end of the season. Red Darter by my wife (R7 + RF 100-400mm) and a Migrant Hawker in flight (R5 + RF 100-500mm). The Hawker is at iso 51,000 and flying, not hovering, against a background - no complaints about the iso capability and AF of the R5.

Please congratulate your wife on her nice shot. Maybe she doesn't know internet people appreciate it.

The darter is impressive. I think I can't do it. I'm more of a person for something slow moving or even not moving.

Very nice pictures, Alan. I really like the second shot for the position of its wings.

Once again, please give compliments to your wife, Alan. The flare and the oof highlights make this photo very interesting.

Really true, Alan. Kudos to you as well
