Reveal your secrets @digitalis! You speak animal languages don't you? How else can you get them to pose so nicely for your pics? ;)

Fantastic works as always. Please try publishing these macros beyond steemit - they might be really valuable in science magazines - I am serious and not kidding when I say this.

I have i do have a secret. but honestly it's just pure luck. Yeah. am so happy if insect will pose for a shot :) i am just maybe lucky persistant.
Thank You. I wife bought the camera for me in 2007. i stopped shoot by 2009. on oct 2014, i restarted using the camera again. i do have an account on tsu that when dark, clickasnap and instagram. thou for now, i only post on steemit. lots of online poeple i met did mentioned, i could perhaps sell the picture. if ever that happens. i will now be categorizes as professional photographer :)
Yes. i know your serious. Thank You for the support.

Awesome Macro photography. I see these guys around the pool all the time, but they very rarely land so I can get a shot of them.

oh. i did tried to shoot a flying dragonfly and always failed. they are fast for me and my camera.

Awesome shots, @digitalis, I've shot many dragonflies myself and it's always such a beautiful experience. What an amazing creature, the sharper the detail, the deeper the beauty. Great post, keep it up!

Thanks. Yes. i do get surprise after i check on my pc what i captured :)

OMG those are such BEAUTIFUL photos!!!
Breathtaking, each and every single one. ♥ ♥ ♥
Upvoted & resteemed.

All wonderful shots but my favourite would be the second one.

Thanks. i do sometime try to compose a shot. specially if the subject wont let me closer :)

Excellent work :)
