Damsels I've known

[Don Burkett]

Hi Alan


I'll have to take better notes because your questions were asked in another forum as well.


I was probably in the 2' range, front of lens to fly. It is cropped, probably 50% No extension tube, though I did shoot another fly last night with 1.4 t-con and tube. I'll post it here tonight, but the detail isn't any better, only no crop was needed. I like both lens equally for quality. The 180mm works better for bugs with the longer working distance.

Here is a Calico Pennant and another fly to add to the collection

Dan, I love the yellow!


Don, that's the best picture of a fly i've seen, at least that I can remember...

The pennant is a treat for the eyes.

Got a few shots recently, bug I think the diffused light from the leaf worked well on this one.

Nice Dann, like the diffussed lighting as well. Ya gotta kinda wish that bright spot didn't run quite so far down the scene, but as they say, ya take waht ya get. Hope to see some more from you real soon. I seem to have moved onto dragons lately, but I'll but a few up in case anyone is interested. Also, now that we are in full swing season wise I hope others will post as well.
