I had such great photo opportunities in the harbour today. I took far too many pics to post so I'll save some for other days.
I felt like a little girl in a candy store ;-)
There was this Damselfly sunbathing on an old boat. He was just in the mood for a photoshoot. I've never seen such beautiful insect so close ever before in my life. Super enjoyment.
Photographing him was a real challenge not in the least because I used my manual focus. I focused on the place where his wings are attached to his body and it gave me the suggestion of a rocket starting it's engines. That's why I chose this title ;-)
After a minute or 10 he took off and I rushed home to check him out with digital eyes ;-)
Beautiful color ... it's a damselfly. Very much like a dragonfly, but damselflies fold their wings at rest, while dragonflies hold theirs out perpendicular to their body.
Isnt it a great feeling when you know you are getting a series of good shots. This is so wonderful. Such an unusual angle and great to get this detail which usually goes unnoticed. Love your commentary too.
@helenhall I felt very excited! What a wonderful creature... He didn't fly away when I came very close to him. Very special! Thank you for understanding me! :-)
