Darter in flight
I'm having so much fun capturing this little fella. It's so sunny and hot, perfect dragonfly weather, that I'm getting plenty of opportunities to catch this darter in flight. This is either just leaving or just coming into his perch and I was set up on a tripod today so I could use my phone app to trigger the camera and not be out in the blazing sun. I positioned the camera to get my hedge, which is in the shade, as a background and under exposed by about 3 stops. Their wings sparkle like spun gold!
