Description

Nikon 7900 image. I am still having continued success with capturing Dragonflys but some of the shots have been more successfull than others. I recently posted a pic of the first time a friendly Dragonfly landed on one of my hands while I had my camera in the other hand, lol. I figured it was probably the only time I would be able to capture such an occurance but lo and behold, I have found a 2nd friendly Dragonfly. This one is a different species than the first so now I am looking forward to adding a 3rd and 4th species to the list. I am a greedy man I guess, lol. I hope you enjoy the pic. Lee

You have done a great job of bringing out the color in this bug. Nicely clear and detailed, right down to the hair on your hand. :-) Nice capture.

I guess the dragonflies have decided you are OK after all! Very neat image.

Great clean photo. Its easier to shoot when you can balance the camera on your arm/hand. Subject and camera remain fixed and you can move about for lighting/background. If the lil critter stays put ;-) thanx
