My first dragonfly!

I've been trying to capture these for ages, and I was finally lucky enough to have one keep fairly still for me today. Thanks for looking.

wow.. crispy!! and in flight as well!

WOW! What beautiful and perfectly focused detailed photos! Might be more of a macro shot than wildlife, but really terrific photos! Best, Pam

Sventekoz

Thanks Christopher and Pam.

Pam, I struggled with where to post them. Because I was a few metres away, and this was taken with a 50-500 at 500, I didn't think it qualified as a macro.

Sventekoz

Thanks Silvio.

Nice shots! What speed/aperture were you using?

Sventekoz

Thanks Cristóbal. They were all at 1/1250s, f6.3, with ISO ranging from 1250 to 1600, from memory.

You managed to freeze the motion perfectly, great bokeh too!
