Damsels I've known

[Don Burkett]

It's the season, and while this is hardly something I any good at, here are some Damsels I've shot in the last few days. Hope you enjoy and if you've been shooting damsels, please join in. Somehow 'if you've been shooting damsels' just seems wrong. [6]

Great photos Don! I love the orange damselfly.

Great shots. Outstanding captures.

[Rodger]

Amazing! I think my favorite is the first one.

[Don Burkett]

Thank you all. I am really hoping we get some additional posts because damsels/dragons are so beautiful and detailed.

Don, maybe this is a good place to ask you, since you're a top-notch macro photographer.


Do you use a rail system with your camera, to finely tune the shot?


And, give me a clue on how you get those pesky flies to stay still long enough to have their picture taken! []

Not as good as Don's, but here is a dragonfly I shot a while back with a rebel xt and a 100mm macro lens.


ISO 400, f/10, 1/200 sec.
