@@capturingnaturewithsandip Thank you so much. It is fun to capture some film of dragonflies in flight.

Thank you so much Stephen. Glad you enjoyed it

Totally. Every summer I spend hours watching them and photographing them. Amazing hunters.

@geireriknielsen9075 I've been trying to photograph them around my yard. I only have a 300mm. I can't get close to them.

@@Joe_I_Hadley Are you able to see where they perch? Dragonflies tend to go back to the same areas all the time so if you can work that out, perhaps you can get close enough when they are resting to at least get some nice shots of them resting. You might also be able to get shots of them taking off and landing depending on your patience. Yards I would expect to be a little bit difficult. Do you have a pond where they lay their eggs or are you able to figure out where their spawning ground is? You might find you have some luck there. I was only a yard away from the one dragonfly laying eggs in the film. It sat quite still. Just some ideas in the hope you might succeed.

@geireriknielsen there is a pond but it's surrounded by blackberry vines. Limited aces. There was one perching it had gold wing I didn't have the camera. I got some shots of another one it would sit with its abdomen straight in the air. There gone now. There's some damsel flys.

Thank you. How do you get close enough? Wait by the perches?

So was I 🤣

Yes it was. Glad you enjoyed it and that i managed to inspire you. Makes me very happy
