katodog Goldmember  More info | Jul 22, 2011 10:02 | #1 Found this guy on our pool skimmer. It was a big one too, had to stand back a foot or so to get the whole thing into the frame. First three were with flash, last two natural light...

Jul 22, 2011 13:53 | #6 No tubes, just the macro lens. I like number 2 also, sadly the pool skimmer as a background leaves a lot to be desired. It's kind of obnoxious in some of the shots. The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked - Photographers shoot to thrill, not to kill

I'm fairly certain this is a Green Darner though, if it's not it sure plays the part really good. I managed to find a pic and info of one in one of my books and it certainly looks like one to me as well (although we dont get Green Darners in the UK unfortunately - wish we did as they are a fabulous colour). http://lindabuckell.zenfolio.com/
