Dragonfly in Flight.

Interesting to be shooting backlit subjects.

Normally, I like the sun at my back, and low in the sky. Ideally, this will give us the best detail, and resolution for the image.

Occasionally, we have no choice. As was the case during this shoot. Two hours with 3 dragonflies circling and chasing gnats over this pond in Toronto.

Using the Sony A9, I found the tracking system in the AF to be exceptional. I rarely miss a shot. Moreover, the Sachtler Tripod was very effective, providing smooth panning, and carrying the weight of the camera and lens for about 700 frames.

Having good quality gear sure makes a difference when the difficult situations come along. I really appreciate the investments I made.

Join me for a day, or more, and learn the techniques involved with nature photography.

Best wishes.
