Recently acquired a refurbished Olympus M.Zuiko 300mm f4.0. Here's a few dragonflies I noticed on a walkabout at a local wildlife refuge couple of days ago ...

Four-spotted Pennant (Brachymesia gravida); Halloween Pennant (Celithemis eponina); Needham's Skimmer (Libellula needhami); Seaside Dragonlet (Erythrodiplax berenice); Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis)

Very nice work! Love the colors and details.

I actually dived a bit today in the list of all variations of dragonflies... I have gained new respect for those who can tell which is which :).

I should add the files were camera jpgs processed in LR. Several of the pics also were processed in Topaz DeNoise. But the lens itself has a reputation for being very sharp, and many people are fond of Olympus color processing.

Lol - not an expert at all! I recognize some of the more common species but anything I’m unsure of, I sent to iNaturalist. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a great site for biological identifications. Give it a try!
