    This are beautiful. What did you use? I remember taking a photograph a couple of years ago in North Carolina of a similar, if not, same species of dragonfly.

    Wow, Knight - those (especially #2) are some seriously sharp stuff.

    Remember that combo and settings - looks great!

    As far as bugs go, those are some perfect shots. However, that wolf spider gives me the willys.
