I guess they do love me?! · 09:52 AM

Well, I don't know what to say but these guys just like me or something... maybe I was a dragonfly in a past life?

Haha, your comments made me smile!

Good pictures, Love the detail in the second image. Maybe needed a little more DOF (the second legs are oof, as are the wings at the left side).

Love apparently has no boundaries! Very unusual opportunity. Nice pics. Freddy

Wow, what a shot! How did you manage to focus? You nailed it.

Deni · 07-07-2007, 12:29 AM

Are there any varieties that bite/sting?

The last shot was my favorite... as I was enjoying your last series, I was thinking to myself, I hope he gets a shot of one of their faces. and here it is!

Thanks Baren and I think I maxed out the aperture for the shot as I had only one hand to mess with camera settings and he gave me just enough time to switch lenses for this shot. I originally had the Tamron 70-300 Di which would have been impossible to get him focused cause he is well within minimum focusing distance so I change lenses one handed to the Sigma 105mm and set the aperture to f9 and the flash was mounted but by a ttl sync cable so without a third hand i could not fire it.

Thank you and I actually used it in auto focus since I had no other choice at the time.

Auto focus works wonders sometimes

Especially when you're desperate!

Mechan1k · 07-07-2007, 09:28 PM

phenomenal shots ... and I still can't believe you changed the lense one handed.

Well ... actually after having a look at your other shots and what you have done ... I am not too surprised ... but WOW.

Shows the amount of passion you have for making sure you make the most of the opportunity that you have to take the shot.

So impressive! You're becoming one with the dragonflies!
