dragonfly - best photobomb ever!!!

Was out by the lake the other day taking pictures of what looked interesting. Came upon an owl and a cardinal, and then sat down to get some images of a great blue heron that was flying by about forty yards away. Just about to get AF lock on it, and a dragonfly flew right into the middle of my view finder, and the AF got a lock on the dragonfly instead. I have tried to capture hundreds/thousands of pictures of dragonfly's in flight, but they all failed for one reason or another. This one was pure luck - so I will take it.

Enjoy!

Great Shots! It's always about being in the right place, right time and pray for a little luck. Your prayer was answered. I love the shots.

It may have been luck it flew in front of you but it was your skill that got the photos!
Thankfully I was set at high shutter speed/ISO to get BIF.

All great pictures, nice and SHARP. Your fortuitous dragon fly is interesting in addition: It shows how the wings are used. Thank you for posting!
