Here's one of my Emperor dragonfly shots. I'm not keen on flash so all I take are natural lights shots

Nice dragonfly shot, that is one I can't seem to capture I am always to far away.

Hugh. An easy way to atract the gnats it to cover yourself in lights then you will be able to get them no trouble, you will end up with lots of bites and itching but it will be worth it.

I just looked round the garden at sunset just as the light is going you can see them hovering in the sunlight. I focus on something the same distance and use flash.

A fluke of a shot - I was waiting for it to land on the flower - half a second too early

Just to keep the thread ticking over.
