Normally I don't double post... both here and DPR... but I'm too tired to edit and thought I would give it a shot here.

I never have tried to link pbase images here...SO.... if it is a link, rather than an image... forgive me for the inconvenience.

Lunch with a dragonfly.

I have not had much time to do macrophotography this year. But on Saturday, I went out for about half an an hour. Posted are some of the images from that outing.

This beautiful little moth was a pleasure to grab on the very first click of the shutter release...

then he went and snagged that beautiful little moth and made lunch of him.
Apparently when they are feeding they are very skittish...this was the best I could do.

Dang - those are really sharp. And, frankly, gave me the willies! Nice shots.

That is a nice serie. Great sharpness and colours. Nice bokeh.

Cheers
