Another capture of the dragon fly. I think these flyers are so neat to watch and I love their intricate structure. I used the canon 450D and Canon 70-300 IS USM lens, and handheld.
A few weeks ago, one landed on the cable that we use for a dog run for Dakota. I was able to stand right next to it, and watch it. I tried for shots with the camera, but I guess I was trying to get too much of close up, and the zoom did not handle it well. I should have tried Macro! I actually put my hand out to it, and almost touched it, but held back. That dragon fly sat there for a long time before finally flying off, Pretty darn cool experience.
Thank you in advance for your comments, I do appreciate hearing from you.

Very sharp details on the dragon fly Sandi. Very nice capture. I can imagine that focussing must have been difficult.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Your so patient to get awkward macro shots like these Tigz, & it looks so good against a blank background.

Amazing how you could achieve such sharp details of this dragonfly as they can be very dynamic.
Well done Sandi.

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.
A great experience for you Sandy and I do like the result of your time taken... Lyn.

A photograph is a memory in the raw. I will always treasure mine.
Absolutely beautiful capture Sandi. I am fascinated by dragon flies too. Beautiful color in the body and the fragility you have captured is amazing. Fran
