Thanks Prof,
I just used my older Sony P-5. I have a Kodak P880 SLR at home but did not have it with me at the time.

@chas,
Very nice photo, makes it look larger than life.

That's a great looking dragon fly!
It's eyes (?) look so cool and you got great exposure on them and every part.
Even the sun glaring on the wing wasn't blown out!
Great shot.

Here are a couple of my DFs. (these are not submissions. I am not in the running :0)

Sorry, forgott to add... if you could add a title to your pictures for voting purposes.
Other wise I can just describe them in the final poll thread (ie. CN freight locomotive, dragon fly..)

Thanks, and keep the pictures coming!

Pretty neat... did you dive in and check it out? Probably like a heated pool.

Yeah... that might knock the breath out of you... permanently.
