First Shot of Dragonfly!

Recommended Posts

This is actually a Damselfly, related to the dragonfly!

 

Entomology is an interesting science, because it involves the insects and terrestrials we use for this great sport! I have a Sony HDR-CX240 which takes great close-ups and may have gotten lucky with this shot. My experience with photography is in it's infancy! It was a sunny May afternoon, and the wind was blowing pretty hard. Glad to have gotten this photo!

Nice photo, they usually fly off before you can get a close up like that.

I saw a documentary on Dragon Flies and those suckers are wicked insects.

Im pretty sure that is a damselfly not a dragonfly. Not trying to be a prick or anything, just wanted to let you know. Nice picture by the way!!!

I was thinking the same, damsels rest wings back, dragons rest wings out to the side. Still a very nice picture regardless!

It's a pretty photo ... but I would have liked it better if you had the whole bug in there. I know, you were "lucky" to get what you got, and it is nice and clear ... still ....
