Lalani Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It is that time of year, the dragons and damsels are out. I've always loved these guys. Post your finds! The amber wings are so skittish! Link to comment
Acielot Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Challenge accepted. I'll snap some pics although they won't be as awesome as yours. Link to comment

Withers Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Apparently this is the only one I've ever edited but I'll try to go out and take some.

Withers Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks!

TheUnfocusedOne Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I was out in the woods the other day watching a beautiful swallowtail butterfly fluttering around. Out of no where, a huge dragonfly came and nabbed it out of the air and flew off with it. Those things are monsters, and they'll be the death of us all. Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 They're awsome! Love the eyes on that one, Jason. I don't think we have any like that here. I spent some time stalking another amberwing, but still haven't been able to get as close as I'd like. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 The eyes on crazy on these things! I'm trying to stalk the little green ones now, they're way more skittish. I got some pictures of an all black monster but they're not that great of an angle. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 these things are ridiculously small, they look like little twigs hovering around the plants. you can't even see their wings in person. Dragonfly by jasonwithers, on Flickr Dragonfly by jasonwithers, on Flickr For reference, those were both taken at the minimum focus distance, which is the exact same distance I was from the blue one above with the closeup of his eyes. Minimal cropping applied to all 3 for composition. Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Haha, yeah, damselflies are tiny! But they aren't as skittish as the dragons, ime. What lens were you using? Hopefully I'll be able to snag a few pics this week! Link to comment
Acielot Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It is that time of year, the dragons and damsels are out. I've always loved these guys. Yeah, apparently it isn't that time of year here. I haven't seen a dragonfly in weeks. Challenge accepted. Challenge still in progress. Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Awww, well hope you find some! Didn't have a whole lot of time the past couple of days, but found a few, including a damsel in flight! http://s695.photobucket.com/user/Lalani7/media/Bugs/IMG_5242_zps55756ed0.jpg.html'> http://s695.photobucket.com/user/Lalani7/media/Bugs/IMG_5248_zpsd1c496de.jpg.html'> http://s695.photobucket.com/user/Lalani7/media/Bugs/IMG_5255_zps5cf854fe.jpg.html'> http://s695.photobucket.com/user/Lalani7/media/Bugs/IMG_5241_zpsbe733d9b.jpg.html'> http://s695.photobucket.com/user/Lalani7/media/Bugs/IMG_5249_zps4358dac9.jpg.html'> Missed some pretty red/yellow and black/white ones.
