Hi Gonz, The tandem dragon fly's was a snap shot as they flew past me about 6 feet away. Amazingly, the FA 100mm macro fastened onto them quick enough to get that shot. It's not 100% sharp, but not bad for a snap.
As for the stuck pixels, I think it's more a case of the water beneath the dragon fly's creating catch lights or hot spots Gonz. There is nothing wrong with the sensor, as far as I can tell. Thanks anyway for the compliments though.
