Dragonflies
Here are a few dragonflies.

Great photos Frank; here is a Azure damselfly I took last week. I was trying for a Dragon fly but they would not stay still 
As I say the dragon flys will not stay still and even when I see them in one place and when I sit there ready for them to return they land somewhere else - we have some big blue ones here that look 2-3" long. I am wondering if I should try and get out earlier while they are still cold?
Any tips - I only have my 18-55 kit lens and wide angle?

I shot these right from my car. They always seem to land in the same place. I just waited till they came back. There were thousands of them flying around.
Thanks
Frank

 So ...
You found yourself dragon the A100 around with you, huh?
Good stuff, Frank!

Frank,
Those are some great shots. Nice blurred background with the dragonflies sharp.

Well you encouraged me Frank - down at the lake at 06:30 on a DAY OFF !
No large dragonflies - I assume that part of their life cycle is over as thinking about it I have not seen any for a couple of weeks now.
I already had a place where the damson flys were and went back there; took 17 photo and I think these are the best 2.
Calopteryx splendens - Banded Demoiselle
Still not 100% happy with the depth of field as not all the fly is in focus on most of the shots.

No EXIF data for us to look at.

Sorry Peekayoh - nobody on has asked to see the EXIF data before and the forum software strips it. New copies uploaded with the EXIF data intact.
I did not know if I should change/remove the makers name and model
