I hope you're not tired of my Dragonfly shots, I can't help it, I just love them. This lady was hanging out in my Garden for about 4 hours today. Wouldn't go farther than a 10 ft. diameter circle. I got some really nice shots. After about 10 minutes of shooting, I stuck my finger up in the air and held it there for about 2 minutes...She left where she was 5 feet away, and flew right to my finger. I couldn't believe it!! Hope you enjoy. I sure did!!!

Looks like it would make a nice fishing lure. Just kidding. Nice steady shot (for one hand). Really puts their size in perspective. Great capture.

I'm wondering what this must have felt like, and did you take the pic? You're a multitasking marvel, I'll have to hand you that!! Great shot and what a rare treat!

Fantastic! This proves you are a good person. Even the dragonflies don't fear you. lol The clarity is wonderful, especially since you shot this with one hand! Amazing.

Awesome! I had this experience a few times. I was able to move them to a better perch to photograph them on. They are amazing creatures and very friendly. Glad you got the chance to get up close and personal. Great one hand shooting.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
