Nice video Mark. It’s a place I have always wanted to visit but have never got around to it. I normally go to Stagbury pond in the New Forest for Dragonflies but it’s in the open so no good on a windy day.
I am thrilled and amused watching your activity photograph the damselfly and dragonfly. And a lot of macro photography knowledge that I learned in this video. Big LIKE from me. I hope you have a nice day. Happy New Year 2023. Greeting from Singapore.
Yes I finding your video very useful. I'm actually one of them lazy photographers who doesn't like rising very early in the mornings. Thanks for you video, it is great.
Just came across your site interested in information and documentary style coverage of dragonflies. While next to impossible to achieve motion picture-like presentation of a dragonfly, their just to fast, I enjoy still photography. Because I've seen dragonflies I'm able finish the motion picture in my mind. Thank you! Excellent pictures!
Awesome, thank you! Even if Feiyutech give me their latest gimbal to review I doubt I will be able to keep up with the Dragonfly ! Such an erratic mover in flight ! But may give it a go ! 🤔👌
Welcome! It's a Stealth Gear Trolley see my video ! Someone notified me earlier today that they are having one shipped to the states after seeing my review !
For shy insects like Damselflies, Dragonflies and Butterflies I use my Sony A7RIV and A7RIVA with the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM (close focus 70cm) and the only 610g weighing Tamron SP 300mm 5.6 Adaptall-2 (close focus 1.4m), if I cannot come close enough, then I have plenty to crop from.
Once again another great video Mark. Totally agree on the clothing, I've invested wisely in plenty of Craghoppers Nosilife clothing, works a treat at keeping the pesky little biting bugs away. Get it in the sales or hunt around online and you can pick it up well priced.
Hi Mark - I will ID your damselflies and dragonflies for you, with the time sections on the video. Telling Ruddy and Common Darters apart isn't always easy. The surest way to tell the difference is Ruddy Darters have all black legs and are a much deeper red, whereas Common Darters have a pale stripe down the side of their otherwise black legs. 0:10 male Southern Hawker 0:13 male Common Darter 0:16 male Ruddy Darter 4:29 male Emerald Damselfly 4:55 male Southern Hawker 5:28 male Large Red Damselfly 5:33 Blue-tailed Damselfly 5:42 male Southern Hawker 7:17 male Azure Damselfly 8:30 male Large Red Damselfly 12:17 male Azure Damselfly 16:12 male Azure Damselfly 16:18 male Emerald Damselfly 16:33 female Blue-tailed Damselfly 16:37 male Blue-tailed Damselfly 16:45 male Emerald Damselfly 17:05 female Blue-tailed Damselfly 17:26 male Common Darter 17:40 male Migrant Hawker 17:46 female Southern Hawker 18:01 male Southern Hawker 18:16 mating pair of Common Darters, showing how the females which are normally brown tend to go red late in the season 18:25 male Common Darter 18:25 male Common Darter 18:46 looks like a male Ruddy Darter but difficult to tell at this angle 18:57 looks like an immature (teneral) male Common Darter

Just found your channel Mark and it looks very interesting. Can I ask what kind of trolley you used to carry your gear in this video?

Good call ! I must try my sharpest lens the Sony 135mm f1.8 on Dragonflies, focus speed must be good too ! . My most underused lens
Nice captures
Thank you!👍😀
