While doing my morning walk in the Cunningham Lake (San Jose, CA) and not too much birds around for photo opp; noticed the dragonfly below hovering along the bank. For fun, had the Bigma DG at full zoom (500mm or 750mm equivalent using KM 5D) and able to have some usable burst captures. Sample pic below cropped and PP.
enjoy,

Excellent capture, Gil.... these fellows are tough to catch in flight.
