Some damsels and Dragons from survey sites around Berks County, PA.

I use a Canon T3i with 63mm of extension tubes and a Sigma "Big MA" 50-500mm lens and on some shots an external flash.

Downloads will probably be better. Any criticism constructive or otherwise would be welcomed. I'm not that good but I'm working on it. I've enjoyed everyones posts to this site. They've help a lot.

Really nice set!

Thanks so much merrytexan! Thanks for looking and commenting. She was quite cooperative. You can tell by the sheen on her wings that she was still very teneral. She had probably left the water that morning.

Thanks so much neighbors. I've been working hard to improve my photography. I'm glad you enjoyed them. I enjoy your photos of Lancaster County. Brings back childhood memories of working on the Amish farms.
