Gday all, I've spent the last 5 cold and windy mornings trying to find a Red Dragonfly for a "handy" shot. Well this morning it payed off ;). After a few solo shots i figured i'd get creative and go for 2 at once :rolleyes:. Here's the outcome. Next trick, one on each finger :lol:. CC always welcome.

Thanks guys, Adam i have posted them, i think they're a couple of pages back now ;). The secret guys is to find where they're at the day before. Then go out just after sunrise. The Dragons and hoverflies will be barely moving until the sun hits them. Then CAREFULLY ease them onto your hand and snap away. They'll happily sit there while you do what you do, just be sure to put them in a safe spot when finished so they can safely warm up and go about their daily business without becoming easy prey. It's tons of fun and the results are great,,,Give it a go ;)
