Dragons In-Flight

[Mack1time]

Took alot of patience to get these shots.
These big Dragonflies only sit still in the morning.
But during the hot parts of the day I observed them circling single small puddles and defending there territory.
They would patrol and stop in certain spots.
I tried two different lightings with the flash ring.
C&C please

I tried for three and a half hours to get a dragonfly in flight without success -- well done indeed.

impressive, especially if taken with the 100mm or kit lens.
