Lazy Hunters

Some dragonflies hunt while flying, but many species prefer to sit in the sun and wait for prey to come close.

The latter are much easier to photograph, and even when you startle them, they will usually return to the same perch. They are great photo models:

^{Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f6.3, 1/640s}

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f2.8, 1/500s}

Thanks for watching!
