Dragonfly with dew drops

This dragonfly was asleep in the early morning in the fog. The fog or dew drops collected on his wings.

 

Thats really neat. It looks like a jewelery pin.

 

really cool but if you had not told me I never would have know what it was. Which is a good thing sometimes!

 

That is very good capture - the dew drops make the image. I would have like to see a bit more DOF so that the wings are all in focus

 

More DOF, you and me both. Why I was shooting with f/4, I have no idea.

Thanks for all the comments.

very nice!

 

Thank you.

 

Imagine how small those drops of water actually are. Nice shot, I know around here the dragon flys will not sit long for pictures.

 

I have a weakness for dragonflies, but they hate me.........never sit around here.........MIke

 

This was taken very, very early on a cooler, foggy morning. I don't think he was awake yet and didn't fly away. I've also never been able to get one during the day.

 

Yes, dragonflies are difficult to capture. The only ones I've been able to get are early in the morning.

Your image is super. Imagine how difficult it must have been to fly away with all that 'baggage' on its wings!
