Nice shot Peter. I'm still trying to get my first dragonfly shot. For you to capture two in one shot is a very good grab. I like the reflections too. Nice one.

Super capture here Peter, I have yet to capture any in-flight shot of the egg laying process of any species.

Shux guys :)

I just wish mine were as colourful as the ones you guys capture. Maybe it's just our Aussie Drangons are plain looking?

Maybe all that yellowcake is affecting your colour vision. Here's an Aussie dragonfly for ya:

Handheld with the standard Canon 18-55:

In fact, here's some more:

Without a location I can tell you're Aussie :)
No one else would know the we do out here ;)

Oh and nice shots. Maybe if I keep shooting Dragons I'll find other colours here?

Hmm... I seem to have lost all my info. I'd better go and fill it all back in.

Maybe you wont. Those seond lot of images of mine were all shot at the same time, I ended up with 4 or 5 different types within a half hour. But then again, I'm in Queensland. ;)

BTW, I never said how great your photo was. As somebody who has attempted in-flight photos of dragonflys, I know how hard it is. Well done.
