Congratulations Don Lacy
Four Spotted Pennant

I have not spent much time out in the field the past two months so it was nice to get out and make some images today. I found this Pennant at Viera this morning hunting midges if you look closely you can see one in his mouth. It would have been nice if I could have gotten the tail sharper but I had to shoot open to control the BG and keep the shutter speed up were I wanted it.

40D, 500f/4 + 1.4 TC, 1/2000 at f/5.6, Manuel, evaluative metered +1, Raw. ISO 800. Tripod. slight crop and clone out part of another berry stem.
