Some shots of female common darter dragonflies from the Summer including a couple of natural light ones (I do take them sometimes) Note #5&6 are virtually the same shot but flash vs natural light

Thanks BE,
As you will have noticed I rarely use natural light but think now I have a decent noise reduction programme, I might try it a bit more at higher ISO and smaller apertures than I have previously used.

For reasons I never did understand, the females of these dragonflies almost seemed to enjoy being photographed, whilst the males (which are much redder) were much more skittish.

Not sure about Dgrin- I thought most of those were close up focus stacked head shots and certainly not any natural light shots.
It's odd but when you are going through the pics some seem much better than you remember and some much worse - I didn'y think I had any decent natural light shots of dragons .
