Well, I do believe this is my first image posting in the Flora and Macro forum...
 Thes dragonflies are not easy to photograph - they tend to be really skittish and fly away quickly when you approach. But I got a bit lucky, and was able to slowly and glently position my tripod without this one flying away.  Camera: Canon EOS 20D Lens: Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L USM, with Canon 1.4x Extender and Canon 500D diopter Focal Length: 280mm Aperture: f/22 Shutter Speed: 0.4s (!) ISO: 200 Post Processing: None, other than RAW conversion (levels, color temperature). This image is full-frame. Mirror lock-up, cable release, and tripod mounted on a Gitzo G1341. I would have liked a little more DOF, but I was already really stretching my luck with a 0.4s shutter. I did not want to increase the ISO with an f/22 aperture, as this also increases the noise. This small image really does not do justice to the original, where every individual eye is visible... But all in all, I'm extremely happy with the image. I'm really just starting with macro, but I'm really enjoying myself! Please be honest in your critiques - it's how I learn to improve. Rob |
