Have you ever tried to get a shot of one of these over caffeinated dragonflys? It isn't easy. They flit and zip around from one twig to another plant. I finally got one good shot after chasing this bugger around with the enthusiasm of a little school child.

ReplyDeleteYup, I know the feeling very well. But we do not have dragonflies like the one in the photo. It looks liked it has been cross bred with a wasp.
Elusive creatures indeed. Nice catch.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteYou were really succesful on that shot.
ReplyDeleteExcellent macro! I'm still trying to convince my daughters that dragon flies are not out to sting them.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot. I love it.
ReplyDeleteIn May, I did the same thing following one around until I finally got a good shot!
wow, Dusty, I love this shot! Oh yes, just recently while on a short vacation at the beach, I was trying to get a good shot of the dragonflies, flying all around the natural grass and wild flower area. It wasn't until I went out to the parking lot that I found one on the tire of my car....later I realized he was using the tire as his death bed...poor little fellow.
ReplyDeleteRogerB, tell your daughters I used to think they stung too! : )
PS...I'll post my photo of that dragonfly.
ReplyDeleteYour enthusiasm paid off!
ReplyDeleteI have tried several times and given up. Nice work. You managed to get a good shot out of it.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend with a small pond in her garden, frog photo easy.. I have chased dragonflies round her garden several times and have yet to get a pic of one.
ReplyDeleteYour photo is great.
He looks to be on a caffeine crash. Too many red bull's I suspect.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot dude.
You ran him ragged. This one's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteThey are hard to catch up with! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteOh that is lovely! The lady doing my flowers at my wedding found out I'd put dragonflies on the invites and put little life-like dragonflies in all the flower arrangements. They looked just like that! Of course, we got lots of photos of those ones!!
