Nicely done.

I was walking in a wooded area this afternoon hoping to shoot some
birds when I came upon a creek covered with bright green algae. A
number of dragon flies were flitting back and forth among some reeds
in the creek. They were way too distant for a macro lens, and I had
brought only my *istD, A400/5.6 and an A2X converter along on the
walk. I also had the Sigma 500 Super mounted with the magnifier lens.
I stuck the converter on the back of the lens and took some shots at
5.6, 1/1000, ISO 800 with high speed synch activated. I came away with
some nice pics of red, green, and blue dragon flies. Here's the blue
guy on a reed. The algae makes a great background. This is almost full
frame with just a bit cropped off the ends of the frame.
