Nice close-ups Doug. You guys are pretty lucky with these dragonflies.

Very nice Doug. I have not got a single shot of a dragonfly, they seem to avoid me.

DFs are hard to photograph. I usually have to run them down across a field or something and my running days are about over

Nice images you posted.

I sorta lucked out with these shots. First off, the DF seemed to like me..he would fly off and then land right in front of me again. Secondly, he was on a vine growing on a fence and I had somewere to put my elbow on to steady myself for the shot and he was eye level to the camera. Sometimes things just click together.
