Description
These two aerial dare-devils, arrived in one day
and nearly causing havoc at the Swimming pool, if it wasn't for the quick-thinking traffic controller and re-directing one away, towards the work-shed...
That's my story, anyway there was actually another type trying to get in on the action, less colourful, but much too fast for me to catch with my camera, he was acting more like a Kamikaze pilot.
For a moment it seemed like a mini "Battle of Britain" unfolding in the garden, with the 'Red Barron' and the 'English Spitfire' going head to head, fighting for air supremacy...
But everything turned out just right in the end, for a Summers day in our upside-down world, here in 'OZ'.
Wishing you all a great New Year *2010* and let me thank you all for the moral support throughout the last year.
Cheers *BB*

I've always liked dragonflys... very cool and serene insects... that is until they zero in on some tastiness of a flying meal...then watch out... very cool shots... you always get the nicest poses out of your guests.. (did you, by chance, ever see the SciFi series "Lexx", where the title character was a giant-spacefaring Dragonfly that could destroy planets?)

It must peak season at the Coolie Airport and now the Bilambil runway is a host for another Battle of Britain...Dragonfly-style of course ! Two excellent macro's, dig the colours and DOF in the top one and the kool water lens flare and colour contrast on the lower also looks awesome ! Top shit...er, Top stuff ! ~Cheers~

Wow! Amazing shots of these guys. I find it really hard to catch them still long enough to get a shot. Great job on these!

Aren't these beautiful when you see them close up. Wonderful captures, and I can just imagine the trouble you had getting them. I am chuckling over the battle and I'm glad you didn't fall into the pool. I hope you have a happy year too. I'm still catching up from last year.

Both of these are great! Really quite remarkable macro capabilities on your camera! I have to say, this is the first red dragonfly I have ever seen- it's also the coolest I must say!

Such elegant creatures. You know, Dragonflies can't walk; they can only climb...how weird is that? Anyway, weird factoids aside, this is a beautiful duo of shots and the specimens are fantastic. Such colors! Such fashion sense...but ah, insects have always been extravagant dressers! Wonderful work! I'm glad I saw these, they really brighten my week! Super stuff!
