    Hello all, new here, some dragonflies to share...

    I wanted to post up some shots of local butterflies dragon flies, all taken University Park Il with a Sony A100 DSRL with a Tamron macro lens.











    What do you folks think? Any comments and tips are very welcomed.

    Welcome to the best photo forum on the web! I love the 2nd to the last pic. All are pretty nice, but the 2nd to the last is my favorite.

    Thank you. I did use the built in flash on a few shots, but most of the reflections are from the sun. Hope you folks got a chance to check my latest dragon pics, posted as "More Dragons and Wild Flowers".
