I know, i can do much, much better, but i just HAD to show this photo.
I have seen so many damselfly-pairs together here on TN, but a double on one blade? *g*

Actually i was doing some skateboard-shots at a local skatepark with some friends of mine. Inbetween i visitied the nearby pond and again was "surrounded" by at least 4 different species of dragonflies just like the last time - but this time i was prepared and had my 105mm with me...unfortunately i was not really prepared for these 4 on one and as i tried to get a better pov one couple felt disturbed and flew away.

so, again, sorry for the quality, but enjoy double the fun! :-)

What a find!

Really great situation, well seen and caught!

*lol* Cosy!
A great shot, and not too much wrong with the quality. Some over exposure and the iris (?) is kind of blocking the view - not that I have voyeuristic tendencies or anything, but you know what I mean.
I like it, it's good to share ;-)

Hi Thorsten,
Good colours, lighting and exposure look a bit awkward. DOF is spot on and the POV is good.
Well composed, well framed and good notes.
Thanks for posting, enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Thor,
Well seen and captured, nice work. A nice shot with great DOF and perfect background, the composition/framing and format are excellent. I think though (and it's unusual for you) the flash is too strong. It's an good shot though and interesting :-) I meant to ask you, do you prefer Thor or Thorsten?
CHeers,
Adrian

Hi Thor

Great capture! 2 in 1...or should i say 4 in 1 :))
Excellent POV, splendid work with the DOF, nice colors and contrasting BG. The pond from the WS looks really nice, too. I'm sure there are aa lot of interesting things to picture there :)

Bravo adn TFS

Hello Thorsten,
Great post - not something you see very often :)
Nice detail and color.
Thanx for sharing this one.

Wow - Gruppensex!
Glückwunsch Thorsten, um diesen Schuß beneide ich Dich. Sehr schöner Bildaufbau, sehr gute Schärfe und natürliche Farben. Danke für das tolle Bild.
Gruß
Heinz

Suuuuupiiii!
Hi Thorsten, hab' ich getrunken? Ich sehe alles doppelt?!?
Toller Moment - grandios eingefangen.
Ich hab' mich auch schon mal gewundert, weswegen die alle am gleichen Platz Liebe machen, ich habe auch so 'nen Schuß, leider nicht so gut wie Deiner. Auch beim Eier ablegen treten sitzen oftmals mehrere Pärchen beieinander, komisch.
Vielen Dank, gefällt mir sehr

Hi Thorsten.
Bravo, Thorsten.
Apparently, you the skilful director-producer. And actors precisely follow your instructions. A rare and amusing picture. Great composition, cropping and lighting. TFS and best regards.
Alexei.
