The Dragonfly Photo Gallery by Jim Coffman at pbase.com

The Dragonfly

It is very time consuming to try to capture good pictures of these guys but I think it is worth it.

All new pictures will be added to the beginning of the album

Such a fine collection of images among the finest I've seen. How in the world you got close enough for some of these captures at shorter focal lengths defies the imagination. =V=

John R Marshall		31-May-2010 00:16
Dragonflies are amazing creatures. Difficult to get close enough to photograph. Do you, or does anyone else, know why all dragonflies have the same dark markings on the lead edge near the ends of all four wings?
