The Subject & Story

This dragonfly caught my eye because I could see from a distance it was doing something. Then I realized "Oh, it's eating!". So, I took photos of it. Lots of photos. I think it took about half an hour to eat whatever it was eating.

Tip: Want to take photos of dragonflies? Take them when they're eating or have just eaten. They don't budge (unless you accidently touch them with your camera like I did :noes:).

There is another photo at my photoblog of the same dragonfly, just after it had finished. Cute no?

Location: My backyard

Camera & Settings: Canon PowerShot S3 IS: 1/500 second, f/2.7, ISO 80.

Post Processing: Photoshop CS2: Resize and crop, curves, some sharpening, contrast.

Dragonflies are the creepiest creature I ever encountered. Therefore this picture gives me the shivers. :(
The quality and the sharpness of the shot is just amazing. It looks so vivid, so thanks for the shivers ;p

Tell a person that you're the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody is a theology scholar. -Dogma-

I dunno what it is, but this photo made me smile like a crazy person when i saw it in my inbox.

I think it's to do with the lighting and how vibrant it's eyes are. It made me a bit fuzzy inside...yeah.


A wonderful pic =p

I love the full frontal capture, how it's dead centre. Absolutely perfect composition :)

I really like the colours too, very vibrant.

All in all, QUALITY :heart:
