Wonderful shot, Reed, of one of my favorite dragonflies. I love the way you have managed to capture so many details, like all of the little hairs on its legs.
Thanks Mike! These are regular visitors to my small pond. They are fun to watch and photograph. I have come up with a system to get close with a 400mm lens, extension Tubes and 1.4X teleconverters to get closeups at 10-12 ft. If you look in some of the posts from last year I show the technique. Or maybe when I have time I can make a new post showing how I do them. Thanks, Reed
