7/18/05 - Bluet Damselfly

Early morning while they're still dew-covered is definitely the time to get dragonflies & damselflies - see the dew-covered back..
I actually preferred the dalhlia that I shot right before coming in the door after 2 hours out in soaking heat & humidity - but put it here instead http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/46385988 My wife helped to break my mental tie - surprising because she doesn't care for "bug pictures".

Nikon D70 ,Tamron 70- 300 1:2 plus 1.4x TC
1/2s f/16.0 at 300.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

This is a first for me. I have never seen an image with dew on the damselfly. The blue really pops against that smooth green BG. Beautiful!
