Assuming this is the F version of the 200-500, these are pleasing Andrew.
I've also seen good results for bird photography at the long end with this lens
And I'm guessing that heavy duty Manfrotto came in useful if there was an FTZ in addition to the extension tube & longish lens out in front of your Z6?!

Yes, sorry, FTZ was absolutely nesesery...

Andrew:
Dragon flies are such wonderful subjects, although a bit of a challenge unless it is a cool morning and they haven't warmed up yet!
I like the second image the best, interesting perch, like the pose better as well.
Cheers

Wonderful capture only achieved with patience and perseverance.
I also like the second one with the beautiful iridescent colors on the wings and the overall pleasant atmosphere.
-
What a beauty!
I'd love to see a photo of that impressive rig pointing at this little fellow.
-
Thanx guys!
Well, to have pix of this set-up we need second live body with the camera...
BTW-trouble with removing last letter in previous row-can somebody help, please...

Come on. You should have had a selfie stick and drone to capture everything. ;-)

If you are trying to use modify and the cursor isn't cooperating to allow you to select the letter and delete it or backspace try dropping your browser window to the task bar and bring it up again. I sometimes have problems selecting or deleting text using my old MacBook Pro. It seems that the screen isn't updating properly.

"Modify" does work!
Thanx guys!

Pic of my big gun-maybe tomorrow...
Few more dragonfly's with Heligon 100+ Z6
-
First the long lens, showing how much more depth of field it has for close ups, and now dragonfly art shots. Nicely done. Will be watching to see the set up.
-
Yeee, Big Gun shot is done, still not in my comp.....

Got it!
-
Yeah!
-
That’s the image the dragonfly shared with his friends ;)
-
A crop of the top third of the rig with the camera and gimbal would make a nice photographer in action shot. :)
-
My young friend didn't shot proper close-up, sorry!
-
Andrew:
Look forward to your next installment of the dragonfly! Such exotic creatures.
Randy
-
Will do!!
-
Andrew- I hope that you'll forgive my adding images to your thread.
These were 4 photos were captured in two short bursts with an AF 300mm f4 IF ED on a Df. Handheld, I happened to have the camera within reach.

Dragonfly 2

Dragonfly 3

Dragonfly 4
Taking off. I wanted to catch it in flight but the next two frames feature only the out of focus fence.
-
I'm tempted to get one of them AF 300mm f4 IF ED ...
-
Interesting Bob how dark the inboard sections of the wings of your four dragon fly shots are. Certainly the Aussie ones are not so strongly differentiated colour-wise. Andrews images also show very clear wings - different species I wonder? Anyway very sharp images. Thanks for these.

Very nice photographs of dragonfly's! I was going to post some until I saw these :), I need more practice - it has been awhile, I'm rusty and not as steady as I once was. Thank you for sharing and inspiration!
-
Thanx!!
And don't be shy! Shot them in the back...
