Female banded demoiselle

[Ken Rennie]

Standing on the edge of the Dordogne River in France waiting for the sun to sink a little lower when I noticed the damselflies flitting about on some crops growing wild in the river. Taken with a 200mm lens cropped in to about 600mm equivalent. Not my usual subject matter but I treat this just as I would treat a landscape the main difference is the little things won't keep still. This is as large as I can make it. I have a lot to learn about nature photography so any hints, tips or thoughts would be useful. Ken

This is very nice, especially considering it's not your usual thing.

Most wildlife photography for me basically consists of random encounters so I am easily impressed with shots like this one

This is really cool Ken. It's amazing looking and I like how it's filling the frame. It looks like you did a good job, perhaps @Douglas Sherman might have some tips or ideas?

 

[Bob Denton]

Excellent!

 

[David S]

Cool catch! did you have to wait long to get it?

Nice work. I'm in the same boat and would be proud of this one.
