Seeing what the the Z 100-400 S lens can do. Looking for the first dragonflies. Only saw one Darner, but it was just a brief encounter.
Overcast day shooting while walking the dog. Except for the Lupin, I think all were at the full 400mm.
Northern Bluet
Pacific Forktails mating.

Wow Vic! What an amazing set. Color, focus and composition are right on not to mention the bokeh in the damsel shots. Well done my friend.

Thanks Doc. This may turn out to be my all purpose odonate lens. Let the warm and dry weather arrive! Looking at the background, it's hard to believe that the damsels were down in the grass. Minimum focus distance at 400mm is less than a meter. I wasn't expecting that sharp an image of something that small even after cropping it.
This is another photo in the series & closer crop.

Absolutely fantastic. Keep them coming. I just got back from my granddaughter's graduation at A&M. I spent some time surveying near the Austin airport. I'll be posting some soon.
