Difficult Frame - _TNY_5094
With a maximum working distance of just 10.1 cm the Canon MP-E65mm isn't the best tool for chasing damselflies like this variable bluet (Coenagrion pulchellum) as it is both difficult to fit the entire damsel in frame as well as not scaring them away as you have to get so close.
This was taken at 1:1 magnification which is a s far away as you can get and only by framing it with the body diagonally, I was able to fit it in frame. As for why it didnn't fly away this particular time, I have no idea - but I am not complaining!
Also, don't you think the wings seriously look like they were made out of plastic on this one?
