Well, here it is. Up close and personal with a dragonfly. Its kind of scary looking isn’t it? This shot was hand held and I was working only a few inches away from the subject. This is the actual framing I achieved. The photo is not cropped.
It was difficult because I would focus the lens but I couldn’t stop myself from moving. Eventually I just left the lens alone and just moved the whole camera back and forth snapping shots as the subject came into focus.
I think dragonflies have a rough life. This one had a damaged left eye and parts of its wings were missing. I suppose we all have our own scars and wounds.
