p.1 #1 · Damsels from last night


After my failed morning walk I came home, regrouped, and then spent about 5 hours at my favorite local pond. I got tons of Dragonfly images and a few Damsels.
OM-1's and Olympus 100-400 and OM 90 3.5 Macro
Thanks for taking a look !
Gary

Really great stuff Gary, I like how the reflection in the first shot makes it look like there are even more than there already are.

Thanks Eric. I almost caught something that I think could have been pretty amazing. I was shooting a burst of that cluster of Damsels and a fish broke the surface and grabbed a mouthful. Unfortunately the fish came out facing the wrong direction

These are fabulous, Gary. That first one is definitely 'Gallery material' -- I'd have to do a large print of that and hang it on my wall.

No other has posted a bass grabbing a mouthful of dragons no matter what way it's facing!! Still an incredible capture Gary IMO

Looks more like you wen to an orgy on the first image, wow lots going on there and a very cool image
The light was harsh but you got a great group of keepers, very nice work.

I can't tell you how many times I sat there thinking how cool it would be if I could catch a dragon or damsel getting caught by a fish as I was shooting. Well, it actually happened and what are the chances. Really wish I would have gotten a better shot as I doubt it will ever happen again
Appreciate the comments Karl
