Pretty dragonfly's

Hi,

Here are a couple of photos of some dragon fly’s (I think?); there were some types with a reddish head, and others with more of a blue colour flitting around a shallow lake. I managed to grab a couple of photos whilst they temporarily alighted on this stick for a breather. The subjects were approximately 2 metres away. These are crops of ¼ to 1/6 of the full frame.

Canon 40D, EF70-200mm F4L IS USM lens set to 200mm, hand held.
ISO 400, 1/320 sec at f5.6 and 1/500 sec at f6.3.

Cheers

Dennis
