The Blue Dashers are beginning to show up in numbers at the pond. Usually you see the males, females make brief appearances and then chase emm DO f/4 IS stabilized lens with a 25mm extension tube, then a Canon Series III 1.4X Teleconverter, then a 20mm extension tube. This combination, in this order gives you the ability to focus closer, than just using a lens with a teleconverter, then an extension tube. I used a flash with a Better Beamer Flash Extender to be the main light and the ambient light more as a fill light, but kept the background a little darker so the Dasher details stood out. I liked the detail of the wing roots and patterns in the wing.
