    Very nice. Like the little water droplets in the first one.
    Fujifilm X-T5, XF16-80 f/4, XF70-300 f/4-5.6, XF23 f/2, XF35 f/2, XF150-600 f/5.6-8, and a random assortment of 35mm film cameras.

    Very interesting very clear and well shown. Intrigued with the colours.

      Nice captures I wish the ones here would settle for a minute but they are always on the move

      Thanks eaglem. Yes they tend to keep moving but occasionally one will settle so I can get a shot.

    Nice shots. They do settle for periods of time, but you gotta get them then. I have photo'd them in flight, and that can several minutes to get right...

    I find the DOF is the tricky bit sometimes...:-)

      Thanks Mark, I'm happy if I get the eyes in focus. I have a couple of flight shots where the were hovering, too fast for me otherwise.

    Nice shots.I have only ever managed a couple of half decent shots. Most are just a blur.

    Wonderful shots Alan. I see them at the lake and around my pool and lucky to get some good shots. They love to sunbake and that's when I get them, similar to yours.
