Dinner for a damsel

[dreamline]

Having been commenting on others, I suppose I'd better open myself up for criticism.

Taken yesterday eveing, but please exuse the dust marks on the lens. :oops: (Didn't spot them until I was back at work...)

I'm feeling peckish...

All are quick crops.

Just need to do some PP ... and clean my lens. :rolleyes:

Gorgeous set of shots - great detail in #4.

Re the spots, they could be dust on your sensor rather than bits on your lense, so if they still show up after cleaning your lense, then definately sensor dust. If you have only a couple, its easy to just clone them out and then do a sensor clean if any more appear.

Great series, Bernie, and quite fortunate to capture the action. I've watched dragonflies and damsels for what seemed like ages without any success at catching them with a meal:(

Btw, those spots are probably on your sensor, not your lens. Time to get the rocket blower out :)

Nice series Bernie but I have to agree the dirty sensor spoils the shots somewhat. :-(

Excellent sequence Bernie- initially thought they could do with a bit of brightening but on send thoughts probably not.

That's a male common blue. Dunno what his lunch was. Nice set Bernie.

Lovely shots. #4 is a great shot. Shame about the spots, time to start cleaning.

Thanks for all the comments. The marks were mostly on the lens, not the sensor. Well, they've all gone on subsequent shots. I gave the sensor a dose of the rocket last night, just in case.

Note to self: Must check pictures thoroughly before posting.:rolleyes:
