Meh. I probably just had more chances of photographing them, as they are plentiful here in summer in the Aamsveen. If you sit still long enough in front of a high, sunny spot, they come out and pose.

That's so awesome, sounds like a place I'd want to visit. I think I'll have to tell my boyfriend we need to spend a weekend around those parts! Many things to visit :D

Bring boots (and DEET if you are coming in summer)! The Aamsveen is a peat bog and the ground can be quite soggy.

Ooh, good advice. I have learned to appreciate DEET, ever since we visited a mosquito invested lake in Scotland...

It takes a lot of focus to take photos when your arms are covered in mosquitos ... See https://steemit.com/photography/@ocrdu/photographing-dragonflies-the-easy-way

Haha, yes, I believe you! After a while, I'd get so crancky, I would probably give up and run away...

See the edited comment. It can be well worth it ...

Wow, indeed it can be. That's an amazing shot. I've captured dragonflies on camera a couple of times when they landed on the plants around my mum's garden pond. You have to be pretty patient to get a good shot.
