There were lots of males and females around in yesterday's sun. There was plenty of gusty breeze too. As I predicted, the outcome was that approaching and framing damselflies for portraits was almost impossible.
I did find this female briefly settled near the ground. This meant that she was static and I could get the support from the ground which was lacking in my previous session. Even so, I got only one good frame.
I am re-posting the previous image of the (blue) male here because I like the quite different impact of the two images due to where the subjects were found.
The antennae and ocelli show up better in the new image but I would still like a bit more of the facial hair sharp.
The setup was as previously and the images are uncropped.
EM-1 (manual mode), extension, x 1.5 Kiron TC, reversed Schneider HM 40mm at f16, twin diffused TTL RC flash, hand-held.
