Thanks There is more on the way.

Even a tiny duck like creature with freaky eyes, a cool hair do and they make barking noises.

Nice pictures Lambo, Your dragonfly is actually a male, common blue, damselfly.
The way to tell the difference is, when they land, a dragonfly leaves its wings outstretched, a damselfly folds them back.
(it's my job to know this )

so how does a digital camera with a center focus area focus on a blurry object? haha

i was trying to get a good shot of incense burning in a very slow breeze outdoors and i had a bag next to it i had it focus on then pointed it to the smoke. it still didn't come out because of exposure time but i might be able to with more work...

My camera doesn't just have a center focus area

For that kind of shot I would use a tripod and have the shutter set on a timer with the exposure way down low. If you can just manual focus on the incense.
