I am happy you liked the pink one. I too like gaudy dragons.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jan,<BR/>Thank you! Nice to know that you love dragons. Good to have you back. <BR/><BR/>Hi Bev,<BR/>Glad you too like the pink one. Yes it quite a striking dragonfly. I had a male of this visiting my home garden few weeks ago but it didn’t have full colours as the one shown below.<BR/><BR/>Dragons surely must taste rather good for birds. For Hawks it must be like McDragon meal…..on McFlight! <BR/><BR/>Hi Margerie,<BR/>Your first question is partly answered in http://www.geocities.com/brisbane_insects/DragonflyHead.htm<BR/><BR/>I have shared a few dragon hunting techniques in comments in some of my past posts. No promises but I will try to do a post on it when I have time. <BR/><BR/>Glad you bought a Lumix after my recommendation! My advice no.2 for you is to first get familiar with your camera for at least 6 months before thinking of buying additional gear.<BR/><BR/>Hi Chrisss,<BR/>Thanks a lot and great to have you back! I am pleased you liked my pics. As mentioned above, this dragonfly is quite a common one in my yard, so I get a lot of practice photographing it.<BR/><BR/>Hi Lori,<BR/>Thanks! I know they freak you out, which is why I love to have you dropping by! *Dr. Evil's laughter*Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-70942642722102199822008-09-11T02:13:00.000+05:302008-09-11T02:13:00.000+05:30Those are cool...they freak me out but they are co...Those are cool...they freak me out but they are cool:) Happy WW and thanks for stopping by.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819332544413521893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-47009242095210785552008-09-11T00:44:00.000+05:302008-09-11T00:44:00.000+05:30I know it's Wordless Wednesday but I'll just say o...I know it's Wordless Wednesday but I'll just say one word for those amazing photos - WOW!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601130537200087299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-91973827001342812802008-09-11T00:39:00.000+05:302008-09-11T00:39:00.000+05:30How in the world do they keep their eyes so shiny?...How in the world do they keep their eyes so shiny?

So, I get a lot of opportunity to experiment with it. This series presents a glimpse of that. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Indrani! Do I remember right that you promised a dragonfly shot on a WW?<BR/><BR/>Hi Sandy,<BR/>I love playing around in different lighting situations, backgrounds, angles, camera settings and postures with this. <BR/><BR/>Hi Tabib,<BR/>Thanks! I am glad you liked them. I got to know my Lumix thanks to this insect and I am very fond of it!<BR/><BR/>Hi mboi<BR/>Sorry about the overload of dragonflies, mate!
