Macro Dragonflies in flight

Dragonflies in flight · 02:43 AM

I just got the Pentax 150-450 mm f4.5-f5.6 yesterday and decided to try it out this morning on my K-3, this was when I found a dragonfly hovering around me so I took a couple of photos. Remember i'm only 15.

Nice work! You're not supposed to start with something that difficult.

I would like to know how a 15 year old can afford an $1800 lens?

Pretty good shot.

Great picture Dragonflies are very fast and not easy to photograph. You nailed this one!

Great picture, how far away was it?

Better shot than any of my dragonflies. Well done.
