Dragonflies
The dragonflies, one of my favourite nature photography subjects, haven't shown themselves yet, but they should be here Real Soon Nowtm. While we wait, here are some photographs I prepared earlier:

Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO200, f8, 1/160s

Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/250s

Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/60s

Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f4, 1/125s

Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/50s
All photos were teken in the Aamsveen, a peat bog near Enschede, The Netherlands.
New photos soon, I hope. Thanks for watching!

Don't owls eat dragonflies?? ;)
Cute, furry animals, mainly.
Really great photos! Crisp & clear! Thanks for sharing. I love dragonflies!
Glad you like it.
These are amazing photos. I love dragonflies and it always surprises me how many colors and patterns they have!
Thanks!
They do, and this is just a part of it, even in a decidedly un-tropical region like The Netherlands.
Cool macro!
Thank you.
Great photos! I hope you don't mind if I use them as my screensaver. Can I ask are these pictures taken by yourself? Do you use any extra lighting during the shoot or is it all just pure sunlight? Love the balance of colour you achieved there!
All these photos were taken by me, all shot hand-held, all use natural light only.
I retain the copyright of these photos and my posting these photos on Steemit does not imply my giving a license to anyone to use these photos in any way, so no, you can't use them as your screensaver. Then again, you know I can't stop you.
Of course.. Crystal clear. I'm "not gonna use it in any way" ^_<
