First one I have shot this year, seemed to like the camera as all the blues were scattering this guy just sat there and watched me.

Can't fault those ones, but I do prefer the face on shots for the impact

Thanks Mike, my preference as well although I never pass up the chance for multiple angles when a subject is willing and patient enough for it.

Lovely shots. What lens were you using for these. Interested in how close you were to the subject. I've not seen any Damsels this season so far.

 

[LCPete]

Agree with everyone, wonderful shots especially the portraits, not always easy to do with damselflies

Thanks all!

@THIRTYFIVEMILL These were done with the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM, natural light and the head on ones focus stacked. The damsel was around 1-1.5ft away from the front element of the lens.
