    How happy are you with that Nikon Z30? I’m thinking about getting that one too. Is that taken with the Kit lens?

      I’m very happy with mine! This picture is taken with the Nikkor 24/1.7 lens, not the standard lens kit. I pretty much almost always use this one. Only when i want to make pictures of landscapes/big open ereas, or want to have the wide-lens effect, i grab the standard lens kit. The one that came with the Z30 (lens kit) was the 12-28mm F/3.5-5.6 PZ VR.

      The camera, extra battery, lens kit and prime lens all fit perfectly in a tiny bag, which makes a perfect travel buddy!

    Those eyes! Now I have to go learn more about them! Great shots, illustrates the term "bug-eyed” in bas relief.

      Thank you!

      They are fun to watch, especially because there are so many of them around here now.

        You’re welcome! We have a lot here too, thankfully, because we have lots of mosquitoes for them to eat! Read a short New Scientist article about those eyes. Apparently they have huge blindspots behind their heads, but excellent vision otherwise. They also see many more colors than us.

        I just found this article https://madlabstories.com/dragonfly-vision/ which immediately seems to contradict the blind spot, but I’ve not read it beyond the first few paragraphs, so I haven’t verified accuracy.
