Dragon Flight I - a photo on Flickriver

Dragon Flight I

A regular guest of the "wildscaped" areas of Mystic Aquarium the dragonflies are usually not a subject I can capture as I am busy either enjoying the aquarium or have a completely inappropriate lens on the camera. This time I was able to stick my extension tubes on and get a full frame image. I probably looked like a total dork as I was still 3-4 feet awat from the bugger pointing a big lense basically at the bank of a little (as in 4 inches wide) stream.

It's refreshing being a nutcase!

Best viewed large.

Featured as one of July 15th's 20 Most Interesting Photos... who knew?
Well obviously two people did, because they let me know by email!
Thanks for letting me know, both of you!
