    Better, but if you've got an IS lens, you'd do as well as in your last shot. But fair warning: dragons and damsels can be addictive. (See my Dragons an Damsels Gallery. In the absence of birds this summer, I spent 3 months trying to get one good shot of a black saddlebags. Never got the great shot, and that just kept me going even during this most unusual "boring" season.)
