Perhaps my best one, and the one I had the most fun with. It is a Black-tailed Skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum). Please full view!
The joys of photographing a dragonfly
me: Oh, another big one! *walks closer with the camera* But on the black stones she is not well visible... dragonfly: frrrrrrrr... *flies away* me: ... dragonfly: *sits on a light ground on the left of me* me: *approaches slowly, taking photos* dragonfly: frrrrrr.... me: Aww, come back! dragonfly: *sits on the dark stones* me: *goes to the dragonfly to make it fly away and sit on something more suitable* dragonfly: *flies and sits on the left* me: Good... but did you have to sit near the garbage? Ah, nevermind.. and did you have to sit in the shadow of the grass? But I could get a step closer, I am taming her! dragonfly: frrrrrrrr... me: You don't want to be a film star? dragonfly: *sits on the dark stones* me: *goes to chase her away* dragonfly: *sits on the left* me: That is what I call collaboration! *takes a hundred photos* dragonfly: frrrrrrrrrr... me: Thanks!
Thanks!
