Eastern Amberwing In Garden

I was looking for bugs in the garden and noticed this female Eastern Amberwing on a Hydrangea. It was a nice photo subject as it stayed in the general area giving me multiple opportunities to photograph it on multiple plants. All images were taken with a 300mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter on a Canon 1D mkIV.

  Thanks Donna! I have been trying to just shoot their wing at 1x to 5x, but they usually do not let me get that close! But maybe someday I will get it.

Amberwings are such beautiful dragonflies. Very nice, Reed.

  Thanks Steve! They are one of my favorite dragonflies! Plus I have a lot of them right outside in our gardens! A little more of a challenge since they are really small to get frame filling images!
