Popped across to Cosmeston Country Park last weekend when we were staying in Cardiff and finally managed to get a shot of a flying dragonfly that I'm pretty happy with (after a number of attempts).


Emperor Dragonfly : Anax imperator



Common Darter : Sympetrum striolatum


As usual any constructive criticism welcome.

Couple of good ones there, Dan!
That'll be your white lens in action then!

Love the first, not because it is particularly a stunning shot (its very good though) but because you have caught it in flight, facing forwards and with the wings in the classic formation. Being so small and relatively fast, you have done a great job with that.

The second is a great shot as well

I know you're not keen on the white lenses (can't say I go for the looks much either) but the glass is in most of them is excellent.


Thanks Markulous and Steve for taking time to comment.

Good work there Dan, that first one is well caught knowing how darned they are to get like that. Yer done good :o)

Cheers,

First one for me I'm amazed how people capture these things so well.

That's the best one of about 20 shots, 17 of them were unusable and the other two needed too much cropping. So no magic, or real skill just throw enough balls and sooner or later you're gonna hit a coconut.
