Michel Terrien

Saulx-les-Chartreux, FRANCE

Today my first dragonfly of the year. Libellule déprimée / Broad-bodied Chaser (Libellula depressa).
The right back wing is missing! I made this with short focal lenght, crawling among nettles !

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20
1/125s f/8.0 at 17.4mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Well done, Michel. A story of survival ( I guess for both you AND the dragonfly!). Great detail on all, but especially the wings.

Great shot Michel! And thanks for letting us know the pain you went through, and your dedication, to photograph this flawed beauty.
