A Tiny violin


An absolutely stunning dragonfly. Barry caught him in a butterfly net and then put him in a small plastic bag. He cut a lens hole in the bag and added some greenery for background. Insect images require a lot of patience. The insect must be in the right spot, be still for just a minute and not be freaked out by the flash. You must also be prepared to take hundreds of shots because you never know when one movement spawns a blur. If you take your time and prepare correctly you can get an image that you love.
