Another "1A" shot. The entire inset is perfectly in focus, everything else is blurred. The only way to improve even further the shot would have consisted in taking a frontal shot of the dragonfly, but then there would have been depth of field issues.

Thanks for the comment and advice. I have made a few frontal shots but non off them where good an off for uploading. DOF was very difficult to get so I have to experiment with the settings....;-)

I'll give it 10 Fons - magnificent!!

Thank you very much Bevellee, I think also the pictures taken with the E-300 and 50mm/macro are very impressif.

Fons, I can see you're on a roll now with your new E300 and those macro shot's, well done buddy, everything is sharp and detailed especially in the wing's and the color's on the body of the dragon fly. Happy shooting..........BTW what do think of the E300 ? I wanna know.

Thanks Kerland, yes I am on the roll now with my new E-300, I bought it for my wife but I am so amazed what this camera can do that I took at for a real test drive.I am very impressed, special the combination E-300 and 50mm/macro. Will send you a mail end off this week and let you know my opinium after testing it a bid more.

Very interesting shot, Fons. The E-300 is demonstrating good qualities. I'm interested in your opinion comparing the E-1 and the E-300.

Nice close up Fons, the colour of these can be amazing. I think it is a damselfly though not a dragonfly. The difference is the dragonfly sits with the wings outstretched and is generally larger.

Thanks very much Phil, you are abselutely right it is a Damselfly.

Thanks Leen, I will bring you up to date very soon on this subject.

Thanks very much Shelly for the comment. I have this E-300 for a few days now, I will test it a bit longer and will let you know my impression of it.

Great picture. I think that the comparison between the two cameras is of general interest. I'm a newcomer and don't know the uses of community, but is it not the case to post a text document about?

Thanks Pierro,

As you allready said , the comparing those two camera's is interesting. There are many test and comparing documents on the internet, written much better than I ever could.I only can give you my impression if you like .I will send you an email end of this week with the details I noticed.
