I was just wandering around the garden and turned round just in time to spot this dragonfly. Managed to get 3 quick shots in before it flew off - hand held at f/2 as didn't have time to change any settings, but luckily this one was just about in focus :lol:

Thanks for the comments :D Although should photos like this be in the 'macro' section or the 'wildlife' section? Are they macro enough for here? :lol:

Most insect and other bug shots seem to go here, even if they're not very "macro". "Wildlife" seems to mostly aimed at vertebrates. JMO!
