    Dragonflies, Estero Florida



    Got a chaqnce to shoot some of these over a vacation I just got back from. My folks have a place on a golf course out there, specimens of all colors were pretty plentiful. Wish I had some macros to share, but I think these came out ok.

    Thoughts?

    Nice shots. I just tried to take a few shots of dragon flies today. None came out as good as yours. I will try to edit and post some later.

    Nice dragons. I've never tried this subject. It could be a real challenge with a 100-400mm
    lens.

    Nice! Estero is right down the road from me (I'm in Gateway). Our Dragonfly season is definitely kicking into high-gear.
