Summer Days and Dragonflies

Uploaded: September 01, 2008

Description

1/20s at f/8 ISO 50 hand held.

This is a resubmit from one of the first dragonflies I ever captured. It never made it very far the first time around, but it has always been a favorite of mine. Thought I would give another go.

Busy days starting off a new school year have left me with little time to go chasing dragonflies lately...and I do miss that. This will have to hold me over.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 50, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 23.40 mm, Model: C8080WZ

I can't imagine this one not going anywhere the first time, it is just phenomenal!! I have no idea how you get this close to a dragonfly, even with a macro lens...the darn things just see me coming and git gone! #6397118

These two dragonfly captures are perfect back to school shots, Laurie. The downward angle of the wings is particularly telling, I think -- looks a little sad. Surely they will soon be as nostalgic as we for the relatively carefree days of summer. Good luck on both of these this time around -- they are certainly magnificent captures. #6397126
