Dragonflies at North Point Park

Loading...

Went snooping around for dragonflies, since I hadn't in a couple years - really since I moved away from Longwood, where the Fens are swampy enough to attract all manner of dragonfly species.  The time of year turned out to be just about right for dragonfly mating, and was early enough that the molt carapaces were still visible.  Both are fun shots to take.  All were taken with the Canon 100/2.8 macro, without extension or reversed lenses, in order to capture the entirety of these relatively large insects.
