  1. i love dragonflies! there’s just something very fantasy/mythical about them. PLUS – they’re SHINY! :D

    • Thanks black… photographing a dragonfly has been on my photo bucket list for a while.

      If you’re interested, I found out after taking this shot that the critter pictured is actually a damselfly (rather than a dragonfly). They hold their wings vertically when at rest and have a gap between their eyes.

      Compare to the photo of a dragonfly:

      • OOH!! ur right – i don’t think i woulda noticed the gap between the eyes if you didnt tell me.. subtle. :) she’s prettier though :D

  2. Wow :D I’m amazed. Looks so damn good.
    Did you invest on a macro lens?
    Looking forward for more.
    Cheers!

  3. nice shot. Which lens did you use for this one?

  4. @ Me-Shak & Dev – Thanks guys!

    Just used a normal Oly 18-42mm kit lens (believe it or not).
