Draognfly, Botanic Garden, Singapore (Macro)

I had so much fun chasing them with my cameras for 2 hours. Each time, I could get closer and finally I could do a 1:1 with the 60mm. Their movement is fast. I thought it would be nice to have a dragon in mid-flight shooting with existing light and a macro lens at 60mm focal length. That would be a great challenge. Indeed, it was a great challenge, I had many blur photographs.

I believe I have to spend more time with them to understand their behaviour and may be just one day, I could do that with a 60mm

 

Caught him eating. He was so swift. Without a sign, went off, came back with this fly, I supposed, in his mouth. He chew on it for about a minute and I still could see some part of the fly protruding from his mouth. I presume it is a he.
