Taken with Canon 350D, on a walk somewhere near Sydney.

Awesome!!!
I love dragonflies

They eat mosquitoes!

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.

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.

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

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