I see that your still the master of the dragonfly Chris,
Cool shots like always.

Nice Chris, I like number 4, what a position. Reminds me of a gymnast I once dated.

That last shot is superb.

Really nice work Chris. 4,5,6 are a very interesting and well done series. Like the bullfrog too.

Very nice series, Chris. Great for me to browse through while having a break from my continuous effort in career advancement

Superb shots Chris, you sure set the bar for dragonfly shots. Love the bullfrog one.

Nice shots....as aways the the Dragonfly Master

I wondering if you could you take a picture of how you set up for that type of shot to illustrate how you take your pictures. Do you use flash and a tripod? How close are you to the subjects? I have no clue how you do macro like that and I just trying to get some ideas how it is done....

That is a very nice series Chris, as nice as the dragonflies are I like the frog better.
Thanks for posting and do take care,

Nice series Chris. I'm envious of your colorful dragonflies. The only varieties I've been able to find so far this year are combinations of black, white, and brown.

Thank you everyone! It's been a good year for bug taking and I can't wait to get out again soon and get some more little beasties.

I'll try and get a setup made and I'll make a reminder to write up a blog on what my actual technique is for shooting the little critters.

Here are a few more that I took and uploaded later that day.
