common darter dragonfly

Buy art

This dragonfly was easy to photograph, almost too easy.

There was another dragonfly sitting on the curb but it wouldn't move over to a leaf no matter how hard I tried to coax.

Then I found this one already relaxing on a leaf, I think it's called the Common Darter.

The transparent wings of dragonflies has always amazed me.


After watching the dragonfly for a few minutes it became interested in me and landed on my finger.

    Whoa.. that's very cool. The closest I got to something like that was taking a picture of a lady bug on a wall, but that wasn't much.

    Keep it up =)

    You wonder what a dragon fly is thinking, they seem smart for a bug, and definitely have an amazing design. Lots of them down here in south Florida.

    I imagine they're thinking about food, dragonflies are so tiny and have to keep moving so much I couldn't imagine they have time to think about much else.

    The design is amazing and varies a lot. The little red accents on the tip of this dragonflies wings reminds me of an airplanes navigation lights.

    Except the right(or starboard) wing should be accented in green.

    Thanks Avishi,

    I am an amateur photography, I really enjoy taking nature and art photos and I hope that shows.

    Your photography is pretty good too. There are some basic rules that you can follow or purposely break to get great images.

    I would visit http://digital-photography-school.com and do some reading. Or just google nature photography tips.
