Hello bro,

Like I said b4. I am throwing away my +4.

Maybe next time, I just bring the towel and some refreshments when we go for shoots. I'll leave my cam at home.

Anyhow, the shots and colors are awesome lah. But I must say 1,2,3 are the natural winners man!!

Keep up the fantastic work man!

Thx bro... actually Wheels and I spent the most time with this dragon (1-3). I guess it was feeling pretty sexy dancing around us that day...

agree ... it is not easy to spot good background. But you can use longer focal length for closeup shots to narrow the angle coverage.

No. 3 stands out. I like the obelisk pose of #1 as well.
#2 has its left wing cut and #5 is not a very good angle.
I wish you can shoot #9 at a lower angle to see clearly what it's feeding, or closer angle would be much better.

keep shooting!

Thx Megaweb & Sgt Pepper for sharring. I will try to take note of your pointers on my next shoot... But one problem is I get very Kan Chiong when I these unpredictable creatures appear in front of me (esp Dragonflies)... Then I will just fire away!... sigh.
