Newly emerged Southern Hawker Dragonfly,

The “ live view mode “ on the MK3 is simply fantastic for macro photography ,
You can zoom in 10X ( which is just the head in this pic) and get the focus spot on to a single hair on the dragonfly’s body.

EOS 1DMK3, 180mm macro lens, 1/40 sec, F8, ISO 100,

Gary,

This is one feature that makes this camera a nature tool par excellence. I have been thinking that the live view would be a macro photogs dream. You have proved it in buckets.

Very very good. :toast: :toast:

Beautiful image, I'd love to get the chance to do a sequence on an emerging dragon. Hell I'd be happy just seeing it happen lol

The live view on the MkIII and the adjustable back focus are both of interest to me :)
