An 800mm shocker (Dragonfly in Flight)
Posted By: MightyMike, 06-17-2009, 01:40 PM

While out playing with my new toy, the Rokinon 800mm F8 mirror lens, i cam across
a dragonfly in flight, he'd hover in an area for about 3 seconds then fly around a bit
and hover again. so just for some laughs i try to catch him in flight, it was shady and
the original shot was totally underexposed but after a few tries at about 5m i got
one shot that was relatively in focus... it was hard enough finding the guy when you
put the camera to your face let along focus on him.

here is the edited/enhanced photo

Pretty much an impossible target to hit and focus with a Rok 800. Congratulations on doing as well as you did. The marsh birds just laugh when I attempt to catch them in flight with my Rok.
