this HUGE dragonfly was just hangin outside my window yesterday....and was very obliging and friendly for a few poses.... I just shoulda used my tripod....maybe it woulda been a bit clearer....but I was afraid he'd fly away before I could get it so I snapped and here's what I captured...

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted View from a Bridge
Don’t worry about the tripod Terri. You use it when you can and do the best you can the rest of the time. You got a frame filling shot of a dragonfly. I can see the eyes, veins and colours clearly. Well done it’s a beauty.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

I agree ... any blur in this is very minimal ... the wings are quite clear judging from the veins. Tri-pods are wonderful when you have TIME to plan a shot. I wish I had a nickel for every time I missed just viewing a bird because I ran for the binoculars only to return and the opportunity had vanished. You had little choice Terri and you did well with this capture.

Very nice...he must have been watching you getting dressed...look at his eyes.

They are so skinny and their wings are so thin. I wonder what they look like with their body full of food.

i apologize for my delay in replying to all of your wonderful comments...senior year in hs has me incredibly busy and almost frantic...
Huge is right Terri! This looks like a female Giant Darner [Anax walsinghami] which is North Americas largest Dragonfly measuring in at around 4" long!! Apparently it's only found in the South Western states - is this where yu're from? Excellent spur of the moment capture. I don't think you could have improved on this much even if you'd had more time, tripod etc. I'll post a pic of one of UK's largest tonight.
Cheers,
Steve.

This mail is a natural product. The slight variation in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are tobe considered flaws or defects.
Ya know… a sharpening mask could probably clear that guy's wings right up and bring them into "focus" a bit better. Cuz other than that, I don't see nuttin wrong here… 8•)
