So I was wrong. http://365project.org/grammyn/themes-and-comp/2012-03-28 This is a real live dragon fly and while it isn't the best POV I am happy with how still he sat so I could get this and several other shots. God is good!
Wow, what a nice capture, Katy. Love the color and detail that you captured. I do not get this lucky with insects with the exception of the moth. I thought you were doing a collage?
Beautiful work on this..great capture! I must not be living right .. I haven't even seen one of these guys yet! Of course, it could be the cold weather keeping all of these guys away. Love the color tones here and the delicacy.
@darsphotos This is the first live dragonfly I have captured. I do have some other insects but this one was a goal. My collage is in the competitions album
@karenann This is the first live one I have seen this year and your weather is probably the reason you haven't seen any yet . they will come and I am sure you will do a fabulous shot when you see one!
@darsphotos It should come up in your dashboard if you are following me. It sounds as if you are not doing that. If you aren't then at the top of this page under my picture it says on the right side 3 albums. Click on that and chose themes and competitions. Get back to me about the following part after you have done this.
Katy I will come back to your picture later but first I like to thank you for commenting on mine..may I explain. my daughter took this photo when she and her partner were on a Scandinavian cruise and had a two day stopever in St. Petersburg, Russia. so the building is one of her shots. I have her whole cruise on my computer..now my screensaver on my computer is moving very slowly from one picture to the next frame and that way overlapping a bit. at the right moment before the one fades out and the other one comes in that's when I take a picture of it. this was my first try.
