 | That is AMAZING. You really show a dimension of nature that would otherwise be lost to us.

 | Thanks for the comments all, There's lots of macrophotographers out there as good if not better than me.
Shot was taken with an MPE-65 macro lens at about 3:1, but the important bit is the focus stacking that allows much greater DOF with good detail than you would normally get.

 | Wow, this is spectacular! Was it just persistence and a bit of luck to get this close to a dragonfly? I know you can't have much working distance with that lens. hey mods · » Thursday January 25th, @01:17AM

| Both persistence and luck. As long as you stay low, keep out of the sun and move in slowly you can often get very close to these common darter dragonflies. Do sometimes wonder if, as they are in my garden, they get used to me :). At this magnification the front of the lens is about 2" away from the subject.

 | I wonder if it's the lack of quick movement that keeps you from scaring them off. Many animals don't even see objects that aren't predator or prey. It just doesn't cause the receptors in the eye to fire unless some pattern or movement matches a certain threshold. Just a thought.
A stunning, world class shot by the way.hey mods · » Saturday February 3rd, @01:11AM
