Large red damsel emerging
Nikon D300
Nikon 300mm f4 w. PN11 ext tube
1/80 sec @ f32 ISO 400

Spent an hour this morning taking a series of damsel emergence shots. Viewing angle rather limited by vegetation so background isn't the most aesthetically pleasing.

Cheers

Malcolm

Just got my first damzy shots of 2008 today too - but not an emerger - your eyes must be better than mine Malcolm.

Fantastic event to witness :toast:

Lovely! I've been photographing this too, I've never seen it before - amazing!

Not sure if I wanna post mine now - couldn't get as close as this, and mine fluttered away before it had got all it's colour.. :mad: But the others that were emerging at the same time did the same thing, mebe its just what they do?
