A Salute to Dragons of 2018 - Looking Forward to 2019 Flight Season
Nov 23, 2018 19:54:48 #
I extended my dragon hunting season by taking some time out from visiting family in Round Rock, TX. These offerings were shot at Hornsby Bend Environmental Research Center. Nothing exceptional or unusual except it's my first Red Saddlebags. I know a Blue Dasher is like being on a bird walk and saying,"Oh look, a robin." I just like how it turned out. Hope you do too. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday.

Glad you liked them Mike. You are in a great place to hunt dragons. I know a lot of people who hunt at the Cape May Lighthouse. I was hoping to take the ferry over this summer but didn't get there. I appreciate you looking and the fine comment. Have a great day.

Wow, now that is macro!
Much appreciated Gary. It was a little chilly so they were a tad bit slow. It made for easier shootin'.

I would really appreciate knowing the camera details. focal length of lens, lens model, f-stop and ISO. Are you using extension tubes???
These are really good. I've played with this subject and would like to try more of it.
