Thanks to everyone for the comments. These blue darners are sort of territorial when they get into a mating frenzy. I found a clearing in the woods where several had staked out claims and waited for one to hover within shooting range for a few seconds. I used a tripod in monopod mode (legs folded) and kept the ballhead loosened. Focus was manual (the 20D/300f4 combo could not keep up). Out of ~100 frames I got ~10 keepers after considering sharpness, exposure, and body and wing position. This one wasn't the sharpest of the bunch, but I like the body and wing position. The mating activity is over so I'll have to wait until next summer to try this again. Thanks again,,,,David
