One of the big dragonfly in the region. So many disappointing tries in the last 5 years I tried to freeze it in flight. In the beguining I tried some bright strategies but finaly concluded that I have to rely on a little help from Mother Nature. So I kept trying kind of blind shots expecting the auto-focus to pin point and freeze that erratic fast moving subject. This august 2024 Mother Nature granted me with that picture. Not an amasing and colourful shot but for sure a personnal achievement I am proud of.

You did a really good job on this shot, Yves. It's a real challenge to capture these guys on the fly and I've tried often enough myself. I especially like the wing detail and body colours that you captured so well here. I've had some success in focusing on them as they approach me and just keep on clicking, in auto mode of course, Well done!
nicely done Yves and perseverance certainly pays off. Well done
You really froze that shot nicely Yves. I would say a fair bit of skill went into the shot as well. The blue in the dragonfly stands out nicely on the soft grey background.
I hear you, Yves. I'm the same. You need a really fast shutter speed for these guys. My advice would be, stand and watch because a lot of times, they will go back and hover at the same place over and over, so focus on that spot....and good luck!!
