Fabulous!

How long was the time of the sequence?  I tried reading times from exif data, but the times didn't line up as a sequence.

Perhaps I should have given some details about the photos.

The first seven shots were taken by cutting free the iris stem and moving it to our workshop. Photo seven was taken the next day before releasing the dragonfly (unharmed). The exif shows the time and date correctly (as far as I know).

The other photos were of different dragonflies that I included because they matched the title.

I hope this answers your question.

Phenomenal set!

What is most impressive, however, is your care for the dragonfly; thanks for not sacrificing his/her life for your work! Anyone who thinks they need to freeze or refrigerate or otherwise kill or harm bugs to get good pictures should look at yours and change their tune!

Well done on all counts.
