A 400th of a second wasn’t enough to see much of this dragonfly’s wings.

Beautiful!!!! the pattern on its body looks very 60′s. What lens, and speed?

the lens is the older Tamrom 18-270 all the way out. 6.3 at that zoom is as open as it will go. Shutter speed was 1/400. I was in aperture priority and this was a bit of a fluke sitting on the deck.

Super capture. I wonder what shutter speed would have been needed to freeze them?

That is just amazing–you may not have frozen its wings, but you have captured its sense of motion.
