Catch a Dragon on the Fly

Album Description:

This large dragonfly came by while cleaning the pond - made many passes over the pond, but never landed. Put the camera in burst mode with high shutter speed and focused manually. Anticipating its flight path while focusing was a fun challenge!

    • Thanks for identifying it. It is a fast flyer and I got very lucky on the shots! The hardest part was focusing with the zoom lens. On a couple, I just picked a range and waited for the guy in come range and shot away. Neighbors must have wondered what I doing panning camera in all directions...
