Thanks Shutterbug, I had the camera for 2 weeks but studied the manual and experimented as I read. Most of my history is with 35mm film shooting underwater back in the 70s. Shooting digital and this kind of high tech camera is new to me as I get back into photography. I'm so happy to be here to learn it and use it.
You're doing super! I've had mine for about 8 days, and have only gotten through the 1st section. But I shoot at every opportunity and hopefully will get at least some of it.

These are super shots, Lomax. Thanks for providing the instructions. I had just experimented with the same concept last weekend, but didn't come close to your results. I'll be trying it the "Lomax way" next time.

Wow, I have this camera and love it. What a lot of steps to get the setting right but also what great results. I will have to try this, we have so many dragonfly's around our pond right now, love the honey trick. Thanks.

Beautiful shots Lomax. I put some honey on a cat-tail , but all I got was ants.Your dragon flys are the most colorful I have seen around here. (pensacola area)
