Description
Nikon 7900 image.
Less than 2 months ago I had no photos of Dragonflys although I had tried for almost 2 years to capture one.
Starting on the 4th of July, that changed dramaticaly. Before I knew it, I had dozens of usable images of at least 6 different species of them. Then I decided I wanted to get a pic of one on my finger, lol. I managed to get a couple of shots where my hand was within an inch or less but yesterday, I managed to find a friendly Dragonfly and now I have about 8 images of one perched either on my hand or on my finger.
This is maybe the best of the bunch. Starting tomorrow, I will start a series of capture which show different Dragonfly species .
I hope this pic was worth the click.
