Green Darners egg laying
by Mark Seaver
Here's another, somewhat experimental shot. I was trying to shoot the dragonflies around a nice pond, when I noticed several pairs of Green Darner's flying in tandem and occasionally setting down to deposit some eggs. They almost always landed in heavily vegetated areas, so there was no such thing as a clean shot, plus they were very wary and flew quickly even if I tried to approach very slowly. In this case, I could get both the dfs and their reflection along with "some" vegetation. (7D2, 100-400 f4.5-5.6 IS II @ 400 mm, 1/200s, f/8, iso 200, tripod)
