Dragonfly

[ejcruz (Eddie)]

Lots of great shots in this forum, so I looked back on some of my macro shots these where taken in my backyard in the BBQ area where I was cleaning my gear, this dragonfly poped in so I figured it wanted it's photo taken - all shots taken with Canon 40D + MP-E 65mm Macro+Sigma EM-140 Ring Flash:

It decided 4 shots was enough.

Hope you like.

Great piccies!!!. Just imagine having eyes like that!!!. And, like them, good for viewing into the UV part of the spectrum.

Wow, If you had got any closer you would have seen what it had for breakfast

Now thats what I call Macro,
Well done Eddie, the detail is really quite astounding, you were lucky your subject posed for long enough.

Thank you all for the fine comments, and yes I had to move ever soooo slow to take the shots.

I like this one, it's an ant with a grain of sugar, Canon 40D+ MP-E 65mm+Sigma EM140 DG Ring Flash at 5X that's max for the lens.
