One of my favourite Insects is the Australian Emerald Dragonfly. This is a dragonfly that does not stop flying all day and I have yet to see one perched in the day.
They have some cool eyes and I have nailed them before but this time I got really close and was over the moon with my results.
I also didn't raise the shutter speed too high as I like to show the slightest hint of movement in their wings, makes the photo more life like to myself.
Most of them show eye detail at full size so I included a 100% crop on the last photo within the photo. All taken in jpeg + raw but these are straight out of camera jpegs with some minor processing and cropping then reduced to 1600x1200.
I also have captured many other Dragonfly species in flight really well but wanted to show my favourite species by a whisker the Australian Emerald this time.

Stay tuned for other species to come soon

Enjoy!

regards,
Vas

I'd really like to see what you could do with an EM5ii and CAF..
