Hand held shot of an unusualy red/orange dragonfly. He kept changing landing places, and I chose the more colorful green background shrubery as compared to the deck around my son's pool. I added a #2 close-up diopter to my E-10, and used full zoom, all from about 2 feet. I had to stop down to keep from overexposure, leaving the DOF a little deep for the shot. The detail of his/her wings is absolutly amazing to me; Something I never took time to see until recently.
