Float Like A Dragonfly ...

Tere · Post by **Tere** » Sat May 19, 2007 5:26 pm

Went for a very important nature lesson today. Never knew and never thought that dragonflies are omnivorous insects until today. There's nothing much to snap today as most of the creatures are hiding when I'm out of bed. So the search begins for the Red Dragonflies and Dragonflies. Hope you'll enjoy the pics.

diffuse the flash, a simple method is to cover with a piece of tissue. try it.the difference is great

Tere, does this look ok ?

Me got Insect Repellant, but ants ish scared insecticide one more over me sitting near ants nest while taking this pic.

Dom, itsh look nicer, but me feel the pic me took got something missing ... can't tell what though ... itsh like no feeeeeling to me ... perhaps lack of the crispiness of a DSLR ... the draggyfly dun feel like flying to me like that ler ... itsh the imperfection in the pic ler, I feel.

The Red Draggy fly if exposed just right, the background will seem dark and the red will be over saturated right? By then the object will look really unreal ... that's why till now me still trying to capture the red dragonfly ... me haben capture one reeely nice one yet. All Macham no depth to me

Dom ... the pic u saw had been rotated 180 degs. Cos the spider was upside down. Light was coming from Behind the spider.

Sun bird jumping around too fast liao ... moreover, overcast sky ...

Very nice dragonfly shots there, Tere. I can see you're getting the hang of nature photography already.

Here's two shots of a dragonfly I took sometime back, it was very cooperative and stood there all the way for me to shoot.

The macro shot on the orb spider is pretty good too, it looks like a juvenile spider.
