Gorgeous shots, Kurt. Best diffusion in the world when it's overcast. New toy, huh? Congrats. That Siggy is a very nice lens.

Too bad you didn't get it a few months ago, Kurt. I sold one of those when I sold the Sigma 150.

Some beautiful species of DF, Kurt...you captured them well. I highly recommend picking up a 1.4x for this type of work--it's my go to DF setup

Beautiful shots. I love how you captured the detail of their wings. And the shallow DOF makes the dragonflies pop out of their surroundings. Great job.
