    Dragonflies

    Hi guys.. I am pretty new here, I have been reading/looking thru posts and I realized that you guys are speaking a completely different language lol. I dont know all the technical stuff you guys talk about with the cameras and such. In my intro I said I take pics cause I enjoy it, but I have always gotten a lot of compliments about my pictures. I want to make replies to peoples pictures but I am feeling a bit shy as I obviously do not know as much as you guys so please be patient with me as I do want to learn!

    That said, here are a couple of my dragonfly shots I really like.
    Thanks so much for looking!

    Very nice images. Don't be shy, we can all learn from each other, and judging by these, I can certainly learn something from you.

    Excellent images. I'm an amateur myself; I don't understand half of the technical stuff discussed on this forum yet but its a good place to learn.

    We all were newbies at one point, so start posting and asking questions

    The shots are a bit tightly frames(cropped wings) , but They are nice anyway!

    Thanks you guys

    Paul.. On the second image.. that dragonfly let me get soooo close to him. That was a macro shot. The first one.. I was standing back and zoomed in and there are a few of those. So this one might be better then?:

    Amber watch this bunch here on N&W forum they can get pretty wild about their photography. Looks like you have found a home here these images sure qualify you to be a full time contributor. The more you post the more you'll learn. Join in the fun.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
