Odonata

March 25th, 2010

Taken at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, at the rim of a pond in the middle of the gardens. I've been trying to get a macro shot of a dragonfly's face for the past couple of weeks at that pond, but it is tough because they tend to look out on the water, not back toward where I can perch myself. They also fly away if you're not careful. For some reason, perhaps because it had just rained, this particular dragonfly took very little notice of me and let me get a decent shot-- this is perhaps the best I can do with the current equipment I am using.

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, Canon 1.4 Extender EF 1.4X, Canon Extension Tube EF25 II, f/7.1, 1/160, ISO 4000.

This is stunning. The clarity is superb, and the incredible detail and perfect symmetry of this creature is simply overwhelming. Nice job.

Thanks everyone. I like to consider the dragonfly as the "Porsche" of insects. Will look for a place to post the original tomorrow. Best, SE

I used to live in Singapore. The botanic garden is great, especially for taking pictures like this one. I used to go there to take photos of all the flowers and insects.

I also really like this photo! Love the colors! Very nice as a wallpaper so i'm downloading it!
