Two Friendly Dragonflies

Zookeeper · 3rd June 2004

Met these two dragonflies at SBG on Vesak Day...

The red one was very friendly...I tried to shoo it away for Zenon so that it will fly away and land again with wings up...but it wasn't afraid of me at all...I even touched it gently with my finger and all it did was to peer up at me curiously!

The blue one looks like a jetplane, doesn't it?

And an OT shot...of a bud..in line with the Vesak Day theme:

Very nice. I like the 2nd shot, very nice exposure and even lighting.

Exposure is good for all the shots. You are getting better with your equipment.
