A damselfly on my finger - a close-up/macro video

IVN · 8 Jul 2016

Yesterday I recorded a video of me trying to pick up a damselfly with my finger from an aquatic plant and eventually succeeding. The damselfly stayed for several minutes on my finger and allowed me to record it from up close.

Recorded with Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6.

P.S. I'm unsure whether this thread should be here or in "Talk Video" sub forum. If it's the later please relocate it to the said sub forum. Thanks!

Excellent. Very lucky to get one land on your hand.

Thank you. However, it's not luck. I do it every time I go out to shoot damselfly photos.

Really good video of the demoiselle, like the way it flew on to your hand.
