Dragon Hunting

I was in Glendalough on Saturday, again…. :) Here are some Dragonfly shots. I believe they are the Common Darter Dragonfly – Sympetrum striolatum.
The full set is here.

Mind blowing. The flash reflections in the very close ones are a bit
distracting, but still amazing.Next I want you to get an underwater attachment and shoot some
dragonfly nymphs.Love these – very sharp. At this time of year you seem to get alot of bug photography… so I thought “that’s looks ok so I’ll give it a try”. 50 shots later and not one usable photo… I never appreciated how difficult capturing the wee buggers could be. Well done.
Thanks for looking and the comments guys. These are my first Dragon shots so I’m quite pleased with them. :)

Just superb. Fabuous macro work – how do you get these so sharp? Do you use a tripod, ringflash and wait all day???

They are all handheld. Though, I do try to brace myself and camera against anything solid I can find. I sometimes use a bamboo pole clasped between my left hand and the camera an in #1 above.

I always know before I open one of your threads that the pictures are going to be good, but these are excellent. You can almost see what they ate for dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!
