Adorama contacted me via email about purchasing used equipment. I was willing to sell then a Hasselblad H3D II 39mp kit. I had purchased the body, prizim, and back from them a couple of years ago for $3495 . I had added a 80mm lens, Imagebank, extra batteries, AC power adapter and a zero halibuton case. i have shot less than 500 images with this camera since purchase. There offer was a $1000 for the whole enchilada. The lens alone is going for 800-1100 on ebay. I understand they have to make a profit but this is kind of excessive, other photogs at UH I'm sure have used them, are yall ok with taking this kind of beating and is this standard procedure from the used equipment buyers?

It has been around 90* around the ponds here. The birds aren't helping as my technique is to walk slowly and when I disturb the dragons, wait and see where they land, then ease up on them. As soon as they fly, often as not they will be snatched up before I get a chance. So, I moved up the hill into the woods where there are quite a few small springs and it is at least 10* cooler. The lighting was uneven, but I found a few that worked out ok.
The Meadowhawks were all teneral and probably S.pallipes. The Striped Meadowhawk.
The Spreadwing, I believe is Lestes congener, the Spotted Spreadwing. Named for the tiny spots on the lower abdomen. They show up clearly when downloaded. The girl eating the moth and the other I am not sure of.

A couple of the shots are similar, but with different backgrounds. This is a result of moving slightly when shooting, so as to get a different effect.
