Absolutely. Spectacular pictures are (usually) no accident. They
frequently involve finding a good spot and then waiting a long time for
the light and conditions to be just right. It's something I should do

You can often emulate a spectacular picture by combining the best picture

Apparently, this is how it's done now, and is perfectly acceptable, sinne
all that matters is the picture.

Really nice, the dragonflies in particular. You are always so good at
getting the insects in focus.

Mark,
Wonderful shots! I've been after a Flame Skimmer
lately and am now further pumped to continue the
chase. If I could achieve results even approaching
these, I'd be ecstatic.

Stunning, Mark. Those are just gorgeous.
I'm never sure whether to pity you or envy you for living in a humid
climate. Photos like this make me envy you. Here in New Mexico (99 F
today but 6% humidity, so the evaporative cooler is working great), what
bugs we have are so tough that they eat
