We went for a walk at Davidsons Mill Pond Park to try to find some interesting Dragonflies to photograph. I found quite a few, but most of them were Female Calico Pennant Dragonflies and a few male Pondhawks . The Calico Pennants were in the fields and the Pondhawks were by the upper pond. I was using a Canon 7D with a Canon 300mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter so with the teleconverter and the 1.6X crop of the 7D, I was at about 672mm if I was using a full frame camera. Some of the images taken were a series of images with different focus points for a controlled focus to have a softer background. I also softened some of the backgrounds on single images for a more “pleasing background” when posting.
