Many dragonfly photos on websites are blurry as the original image is degraded on the computer screen.
Above dragonfly image is actually sharp, but you need to download from www.shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets

 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Dragonflies. Use TV or AV.

4 Nov 2023, 9.13 am. Public garden of Hampton by Hilton hotel, Hainan, China.
A better camera which focuses on the eye of the dragonfly. Canon R5, Handheld, ISO 640, 81MM, F/4.0, 1/2000 sec.  I used TV because some dragonflies don't stay perched for long. Take multiple shots as not all will be sharp.

 CHINA - 4 NOV 2023: 9.13am. Hainan. Public garden of Hampton by Hilton Hotel. The male and female Variegated Green Skimmer (Orthetrum sabina) has the same appearance - pale greenish with white markings on its abdomen. It preys on other dragonflies. A strong and fast flyer. 

The Variegated Green Skimmer is a strong and fast flyer. It preys on other dragonflies. One of more ferocious dragonflies. Seen in Hainan's Hampton by Hilton Hotel public garden after breakfast. Many of my fellow travellers probably rest in the lounge area after breakfast.
