Description

All the pictures in my “microLaCoste” series have been taken with the macro setting of my small CANON IXUS 70 ! A fantastic tool for this kind of shots ! Best results are obtained when the camera is at a distance between 3 and 7 cm from the insect… When I saw this huge dragonfly (about 15 cm !) I was very excited and didn’t change the settings… So I took many pictures from a distance of about 10 cm or more… all blurred :~( But fortunately I also attempted a few “close-ups” and here is the result ! This dragonfly is a male Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea), also known as the Blue Darner. In French : l’Aeschne bleue In Dutch : De Blauwe glazenmaker In German : Die Blaugrüne Mosaikjungfer Thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload :

You are kidding me? ISO 80 at 6mm? Wow, a totally wonderful shot. I believe you must have had super light for this shot. A fine, fine macro. IM me if you wish...did you use diopters or what?
