Description
All the pictures in my “microLaCoste” series have been taken with the macro setting of my small CANON IXUS 70 ! A fantastic tool for this kind of shots !
Best results are obtained when the camera is at a distance between 3 and 7 cm from the insect…
When I saw this huge dragonfly (about 15 cm !) I was very excited and didn’t change the settings…
So I took many pictures from a distance of about 10 cm or more… all blurred :~(
But fortunately I also attempted a few “close-ups” and here is the result !
This dragonfly is a male Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea), also known as the Blue Darner.
In French : l’Aeschne bleue
In Dutch : De Blauwe glazenmaker
In German : Die Blaugrüne Mosaikjungfer

Wow,Wow, Wow, this is so good excellent macro and so beautiful.
Photography as yours here keep surprising me as I wonder why the dragonfly does not depart when it sees the camera and lens approach. You certainly have a magical touch. Have a wonderful week and thank you for sharing. egmont
Extraordinaire le travail de dame nature si bien rendu par cette merveilleuse macro. Bravo Michel

EXTRAORDINAIRE !!
You're lucky they'll let you get that close. I have to do my dragonfly macro work with a telephoto lens.
