Description
I've never had great sucess with creatures or birds that don't stay still for too long and I find that they are always at a distance. Anyhow this is my first attempt at posting a dragon I know nothing about creatures or flying insects so I hope someone can help identify this Dragonfly !

Sorry mate I can't help with this one, maybe Andrea will know. You must be feeling tickled pink with the first time shot of one. I used to see them regular when fishing, they used to rest on the rod tip, but I never had a camera with me whilst fishing and since I stopped I haven't seen many at all. Wonder where you managed to find this one? A pity it's not from a different angle as the back looks very colourful, or was it the sky reflected in it? I'm pleased for you anyhow pal. Excellent first timer, you will be out there now striving for one better, well I know I would. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

A critter which has eluded me so far, I admire your patience. And they are probably not good at autofocus settings.

Excellent work Alan! I know just how difficult it is to capture these little fellas. I'n not sure of the type but it is certainly a very colourful specimen!

Leeco may be able to help you here. I find time is on our side- eventually there will be a dragonfly willing to pose for you. Great first!

When I was young they told me to put salt on the tail of a bird if you want them to stay. LOL Beautiful capture, well done!

As much as I love nature, it isn't always in love with me and I can't get withing 100 feet of anything that flies... unless it is sleeping or in the process of dying... I think this is a very fine first dragonfly!

http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Odonata a good place to start excellent first capture. when trying to capture dragons or damsels be slow with your movements and if they fly just wait in the same spot as most return to the same twig.often you can sneak up to the rear and as they get use to you slowly move to the front. I have not even tried this year because of constant winds everyday
