Damselfly Emergence

orionmystery · 24th June 2009

Created from 33 images. Somehow the IQ deteriorated quite a lot after the gif conversion. If you know how to solve this, let me know

.

I use Unfreez to create the animation.

Love the part where the damsel emerged ....

warning: 4.5MB..takes a while to load..pls be patient

Yeah..i know..i wish i have a 500D or 5DII

No damsel was harmed in the entire process of shooting

Thanks, tchuanye. Approx 30 min for the whole sequence in the animation. And another 30 min for the damsel to pump fuild into its wings and abdomen, to wait for the wings to dry up before finally taking off.

You have exceptional patience! You have just given me the justification to HOPE for Sony to come out with one with HD video.
