Photographed in Big Valley, California.
I captured these images when the dragonflies landed on the tops of some pieces of steel rebar that stick way up from a partially demolished hot tub.
These were shot in full daylight. I darkened the background by stopping down to F/16 or so at 1/500th, and used an on-camera TTL hotshoe flash to light the subject.
I got as close to the subjects as I could. The lens was a cheap 70-300mm zoom. It's closest focusing distance is quite far, so these images were heavily cropped from a six megapixel RAW, despite being shot at 450mm equivalent focal length.

It is Sunday, August 26, 2018.
David Katz, a 24 year old man from Baltimore, Maryland, has entered a Madden 19 NFL gaming tournament that is being held at Chicago Pizza & Sports Grille in Jacksonville, Florida. During the tournament, David loses two matches, and thus, is eliminated from the tournament.
After losing his last match, he leaves Chicago Pizza & Sports Grille.
He returns soon afterwards, this time carrying two loaded handguns. Within moments, David Katz begins to fire at the other players in the tournament. Eleven tournament players are wounded. Two tournament players, Taylor Robertson and Eli Clayton, are killed. Afterwards, David Katz turns the gun on himself, ending his life as well.
The questions will now be asked, the talking points will now be brought about, and the debate will continue. The lawsuits will be filed, and the security will increase. Some will become passionate, and some will not care.
And most of us will just wait and see when it happens again.
All from the actions of a 24 year old man from Baltimore.
Sophie the kitten, posing as she thought best. Cats have definite ideas about whether they want to be photographed or not, and if so, exactly how it should be done.

4SidedStory: ORDER. Amidst a gun debate that has torn the USA in half over the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution, our random assignment was ORDER. So how do you photograph ORDER? I'm not sure, but here is how I did it: These are .40 caliber bullets. At first glance they are in order, yes, that was the goal. I also hope this is more thought provoking than that. Do guns/bullets create order, or destroy it? I guess the depends on the side of the debate you are on. Do these neatly lined-up bullets represent soldiers at-the-ready to confiscate newly-banned weapons, or maybe law-abiding citizens lined up to forcibly surrender their guns? Or possibly, We The People standing up and defending our right to bare arms? Maybe this is the people falling in-line for socialism. Ultimately, these are just bullets. I respect them, but I do not fear them. I only fear someone behind them with the wrong intent, and will to do harm. For that reason, I wish to retain my 2nd Amendment right to defend myself and my family with them.
