Description

Needing a break from my flower series, I thought I'd jump on the dragonfly bandwagon since I don't have one in my gallery. Near as I can tell this is a Twelve Spotted Skimmer, Libellula Pulchella. Since I'm totally ignorant when it comes to dragonflies, hopefully Ms Michelle Lynn can set me straight. The shot is NOT A MACRO. I used my 400mm prime lens and am somewhat pleased with the results. Hope you enjoy it.

EXIF: Canon EOS 20D w/EF 400mm 5.6 L lens, ISO 100, f 6.3 @ 1/320 sec. Tripod. shot in raw format.

This is indeed a male L. pulchella John and a beautiful photograph of one as well. I especially enjoy the background colors.

Great job! I think I had a run in with that same type of dragonfly a few weeks ago...the one I was shooting seemed to rather like having his picture taken and stayed still for me for quite a while. Looks like yours is very photogenic as well!
