A broad-bodied chaser taken through my 150-500 Sigma lens.
This effort is as shaky as my previous videos, but I’m sure this will improve with practise; also, this dragonfly was a fair distance away and almost at the limited of the lens.
Broad-bodied chasers were on the marsh and up in Hoo Wood in significant numbers today.

Perhaps you were a little ambitious trying to photograph a dragonfly with a 100-500mm lens, Mike, although it’s surprising what the Sigma lens can do. I bought the ing Sigma lens to do bird photography some distance away from the subject, but I was surprised to find it took some very good close-up flower photos too.
Again, it was all I had with me to do the job. The chance to shoot the first chasers was too good to miss.
You did very well to hold a big lens like so steadily. I had to sell mine becuase it was too heavy for me to hold for long enough to get good shots.
Thanks Tom. I find the lens easy enough to use for still photography, but video is definitely a challenge.
Looks good to me 🙂
