Dragonflies in the back yard
Jul 8, 2018 17:37:48 #
Although I initially set out to capture hummingbird images, there were more dragonflies flitting about the yard than I remember seeing in the past several years. Maybe the above normal rain. Anyway, I stalked less suspicious quarry. Nikon D850 with Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2, somewhat high shutter speeds and a speedlight to manage the ambient light.

Right on target..! Excellent series of dragonflies.
Thanks for taking the time to look! They were more cooperative than the hummingbirds.
