Huge Dragonfly

I know, not another dragonfly! Word must have gotten out amongst the dragonflies that I was taking free photos. This one was as big as my hand and landed right in front of me, so I had to take its picture.





If you are tired of looking at dragonflies, here is the Quiz Bowl team particpating in the 1st Annual World War II Competition at the D-Day Museum. They didn't win, but did a great job and had a lot of fun.




Canon PowerShot A95
1/250s f/5.0 at 19.2mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Amazing detail - there's no way I could hope to get that close to one - fantastic shot.

Happy with your dragonfly. Don't get too many here :)

some days you just have to! Exquisite detail, and it really stands out from the background.

Great capture... very detailed wings.

Excellent detail! Good job!

Great shot of this big ol' gold one. They aren't as tame as the green ones.
Coleen Perilloux Landry30-Apr-2005 03:56
Great shot of this dragonfly and it must be a very healthy one because the black is so defined on it.

Oh Elaine I will have to come back down there! I forgot the museum was in N.O, Steve Ambrose was my hero and I know he did a lot of work on the DDay museum. I have a passion for WWII and DDay in particular.

BTW keep the dragonflies coming :)

Fabulous capture. Great detail and sharpness.

LOL at your commentary. You have gotten some really good shots lately.
Susanne30-Apr-2005 03:23
I do not think I would ever get tired of looking at them. They are so beautiful with their transparent wings and those nice glistening bodies. Nice capture. Very detailed.

Wowzers! What a macro shot! I can't believe how close you got! Love the wings
Gary Winters30-Apr-2005 03:13
Wow! You caught that wingspan perfectly!
