Damsels in love

Damsel flies mating

Had initially considered putting this post behind a LJ-cut but that according to some would be a very cruel joke 😉

Anyways… I caught these yesterday morning on our Sunday morning bird walk and like it so often happens with me – The camera had the wrong lens – The EXIF on the picture is
Exposure Time: 1/100 sec
FNumber: f 8
Flash: Flash, Auto-Mode, Return light detected
Focal length: 400 mm

Can anyone ID these?

  • dont know about the id, but a nice picture.

    • Thanks – wish the cam had the 105mm – would have been much more sharper

  • Damn. Reading the subject made me think this post is about lesbians. 😛

    • 😛 I couldn’t bear to see you cry – thats why it is not behind a Cut!!

  • Dragon flies? I had a praying mantis couple on a plant outside my house… but then my lenses do not compare to yours.
    What do you mean by ID?

  • Nice capture 🙂

  • oh man! I envy that shot!
    Good going!

  • Beautiful! Like the pic!
