Red dragonfly

I find it very frustrating that I can never seem to capture a decent dragonfly shot! There are so many around at the moment and tantalise me by hovering or perching so close, right until I am about to press the shutter at which point they zoom off at speed! This one stayed still for a few seconds but grass isn't a good background for showing up those wonderful wings I'm afraid.
yeah everyone here makes it look easy but it's NOT!
I like the detail you managed to capture even with a busy background. fav

Great shot. Yeah, they don't always land where you want them to.

At least it landed! I'm having to contend with zoom zoomers who never stop, so all I get is a blur of orange! I'll have to make a night-time trip out to find some.
