Blue Dragon
This is probably one of the best dragonfly shots I've ever captured, owed mostly to the cooperation of the insect, who really liked the particular stalk of grass that it kept returning to.
Until I started doing photography, I really didn't pay much attention to things like dragonflies. I noticed the ugly, brown ones that would swarm around when it was getting ready to rain, but it wasn't until I picked up my first digital camera that I began to notice all the different colors they came in! There were quite a few blue ones this particular day, but the one I dearly wanted to capture was a really large, red one, that was frantically maneuvering around the pond, but not landing on anything for me to get a fix on him! One of these days. At least the blues were agreeable, and I managed to capture a lot of good shots.
