I have NO idea how you managed to get a draonfly in flight (a decently sharp picture that is) ! people like struggle to get a pic of them sitting !! How may frames did you have to click to get a pic like this ? TFS.

Another excellent capture. I actually like the slower shutter speed here, blurring the wings. Not only do the blurred wings look cool, it gives more of the sense of speed.

Well captured. Pure luck is not enough for "stopping" these guys - you seem to have some skills and a lot of patience as well.

LOL, good one you do have a excellent sense of humour and a steady hand - a combination not oft seen. 10-15 shots is also a small number when it comes to fleeting dragonflies. Most of the time, when I try, I catch... air. That said, thaks for sharing the information, it helps.
