Description
I finally got out to our local pond to try shooting some dragonflies a couple of days ago. By getting there early, I though I 'd avoid the crowds (that part worked) and find dragonflies clinging to vegetation until they warmed up (I don’t know where they were but it wasn’t where I was). They showed up about an hour after I got there as things warmed up and started cruising over the pond. Luckily, this species seems to like to hover and check things out. These are from three different series, though it might all have been the same dragonfly-not sure.
Specific Feedback
I included the Butt shot because it shows the wings the best and the wing attachment, which I think are pretty cool. Probably not an artistically satisfying image. I’m interested in any suggestions for improvement.
