Never buy a cheap camera and a cheap lens. You'll be disappointed

Not!

Probably the last chance I'll get to capture one this year as she is at the very end of their season. A200 with the Sigma 70-300mm

An attempt at wildlife/insect photography.

Hi all,

I haven't posted any images for a few days so thought I should add another image. Anyway, this was taken a week or so ago with the A300 and Beercan. I was actually out looking to take some landscape images when I spotted these dragonflies.

I made good use of the A300's live view as the camera was about a foot or so off the floor on a tripod. I was quite pleased with the performance of both the camera and lens. I would have preferred it if the camera could have focussed a little bit closer though :-)

Anyway, here's the image...
