In-Flight Entertainment

At some time or another on most days (invariably the mornings) we have dragonflies flitting this way
and that across the yard, stopping briefly from time to time to survey, then continue on their way.
I decided to try to get a shot from the deck and I have to admit, finding them at 300mm, keeping them
in the frame and focusing and getting the shot isn't as simple as it sounds. Not a great shot, but a
fun experiment for 10 minutes!!

Dave, don't know how it could get much better. And how lucky for you these guys are around, among my favorite insects and extremely rare where I am. Thanks for sharing.

Superb! I reckon it's actually a plastic model though, and you've cloned out the string holding it up ;-)

Nice shot, nobody ever said it was easy to photograph them in flight! Lovely composition and colour too.
