Artist's Comments

:star:Dragonfly or Southern Hawker: Aeshna Cyanea:star:

Hawkers get their name from restlessly patrolling their territory in search of prey like a hawk...
The males are often seen patrolling by a ponds edge or river, where they fight away intruders, crashing into rival males and spiralling through the air.

Ooh, me too. What do you have?
:icongooiool:
I use a Sigma Zoom Telephoto 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro lens .
And go with in 5ft of the subject .
The lens will really get in there for shots like these.
The only problem is getting it to focus on just the eyes . Sometimes it takes a few shots to get the right focus. 10 shots to find the right one to edit and post.
