Yesterday afternoon, I was able to capture some macro photography shots of dragonflies in flight, circling overgrown grass in search of prey. They were flying around in a pack of approximately 12, just waiting to dive in and catch a meal.
As you would suspect, they were quite difficult to capture, since the damn things wouldn't fly idly, but nonetheless, I was still able to get two pretty good shots of two of the dragonflies while in flight. What I really love about these two photos is that with the background predominately grass, it gives a look as if these two shots are oil paintings, but they are not.
The shots were taken using a Canon 80D camera with a 70 - 300mm lens.
One love,
