Love in Flight

Medina, Minnesota

Two dragonflies captured in flight.
I found these two in Baker Park Preserve a few miles from my house. I probably shot 40 photos to get this one. These guys are quick.

Canon EOS D60
1/500th sec; levels, curves & unsharpen mask in PS. full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Awesome capture, really nice work 'landing' this one. The composition works well too. Gowan

Really nice capture. It is a shame these guys are so dark but I guess if you have to take 40 shots to capture them, trying to get them well lit also would be impossible! Especially given my current lighting kit - a desk lamp &/or internal flash :)

Incredible, exquisite and stunning! And wonderful depth of field.
