DragonFly Series

[solargravity]

A perfect landing on the antenna of my car. This beauty actually waited patiently for me to get my camera and almost seems to pose for me. It was as if she was looking at me with equal curiosity. Both shots came about 20 seconds apart. The one is framed with the soft blue sky and the second was taken from a different angle. Then after she flew away she came back for another series. A true gift as I have always wanted to get a shot like this of these beautiful creatures.

Nice shots! Funny how dragonflys will sometimes appear almost friendly. They often land on me to rest when im out in the yard. Humans know they eat pesky bugs. Maybe they know we know that haha!

It landed, my camera settings were already in place from previous shooting (Manual), Took the shot, it flew off. Case of right place, right time.

Wow everyone. I'm shocked on how amazing your photos are. Seriously fantastic on so many levels. The amount of talent in this forum is exactly why I have been coming back more and more these days.

Thank you all for sharing.
