What an excellent shot of that dragonfly!


The camera gets all of the credit for that one. It's an Olympus TG-5 Tough point and shoot camera, which is my garden macro close-up monster. It can focus super super close, and has macro shooting focus stacking as an option. So for things that aren't moving, like a sleepy dragon fly, I can set it so a single click takes about a dozen shots - each with a slightly different focus point. The it automatically stacks them up and builds a final image out of the sharpest bits of each.

Fun camera, and it makes you want to crawl your garden nose to the ground. It also has a little snap on diffusing ring light so it can light up the target subject even if you are so close that the camera would otherwise cast a shadow.

I love it for insane close-ups.

Oh, and it's waterproof too. ❤️
