Double-striped Bluet - Enallagma basidens

Trying to bud out from doing mostly dragons... I also used a Nikon 24-70mm 2.8N ED on a Kenko AF tube attached to a D7000 for these!

Thanks, Therese! I really need to catch up with you and Ken one day at Mercer.

James, I shot with the R1 on the end of the 24-70 and a 20mm tube. CLS off the OBF and it worked great as usual. I shot mostly around 50-70mm as the minimum distance of focus is less the greater the zoom.

Much agreed, Mr. Ken. I don't normal shoot damsels, but the colors on this one were just too vibrant not to.

I like #2 the best...bet you were wishing you had that "macro" setup. But these worked pretty good as well!

Thanks!

I had rented the 24-70 for the weekend, Jim. I was just trying to get my money's worth out of it so I was using it for everything.
