I am glad this is a little bug. I could have nightmaares. Just exactly what is a neon skimmer?? Are females a different color or something?? By the way this is an excellent picture!!

A red dragonfly…. The females are a brownish red….

Hey Dennis…Mom has the Nikkor 60 mm 2.8. What is the difference in the one you have. Would she be able to take better macros?
Dennis Jones -... replied
A little closer on the magification. The 60mm won’t do a 1:1 I don’t believe. Main thing is to manually focus…and no wind….

Eyes look fine to me GB, wonderful shot, what is the catch light in his eye? What do you use for these? I have a 1:1 macro, whats my next step?
Dennis Jones -... replied
I was using my speedlight. So the sun and flash are showing up in the eyes. Main thing I’ve found on the macros is to manually focus…and hope the wind isn’t blowing to bad. I haven’t had a calm day in a bit…

Dennis, I’d pay good money to learn how to do this! This is the best dragonfly macro I’ve ever seen. Mind boggling! I have the same lens but no where the same results!
Dennis Jones -... replied
Practice, practice and more practice…. Nice that digital film is cheap….!

I need a air traffic controller sometimes, due to the amount of dragonflies, damselflies and Hummingbirds that are in the air…
