Awesome!!!
I love dragonflies :)
They eat mosquitoes! :thumbsup:
Did you know they can travel at ~ 70 km/h?
That's more than twice as fast as the quickest human!

A very nice capture Geoff. :thumbsup:

I love the colour on this little guy. :)

Fantastic!
They don't like to sit still for very long. Well captured.

Lovely shot, nice colours Geoff.

Nice smooth background too, which 300mm lens did you use?

Looks like you have a little bit of dust on the sensor though.
A little blast of air should clean it off.

:thumbsup:

Thanks for the commenbts guys. The dust was cleaned a while ago--it's quite an old pic.

Lens: EF 90-300mm USM. See here (http://www.canon.com.au/products/cameras_lenses_accessories/telephoto_zoom_lenses/ef90_300mmf4.55.6usm.aspx)

Nice, Geoff. I've always to capture the little buggers but we just don't get them around our hous.e
