What a great shot. The dragonflies around here seem to be a bit more modest. ;^) ~dtallakson

Thanks for all your comments. Camera has a telemacro mode that allow you to shoot at 12x at 3.2 feet. Natural Lighting, good day shooting they were too busy to fly off. A little cropping and post processing helped also. Sometimes use an additional close up lens to get closer, not sure if I had it on with this shot, can't tell from the exif info. Patience and practice. Stan Stan

Very impressed Stan, may be I can get better results with my S3 & Raynox. Please share some tips.

Great sharpness with wonderful detail, especially in the wings. Any techniques you can share to get good bug macros Stan? How do you light your bugs? CJ
