Re: more dragonflys

Nice series, except for the 1st one the others seem to be a bit bright IMO. Of the set, I like the on in flight minus that big white strip near the bottom 3rd. Would be tempted to clone that out of the photo.

Re: more dragonflys

many thanks Tom, can i just ask but do the pic's seem over exposed or just very bright? i only ask as i'm trying to get to grips with fill in flash, or maybe my screen on my laptop needs calibrating. the 1st looks dark and the rest look ok here.
regards Mark.

For me, other than the 1st, the highlights seem to be overexposed.

Re: more dragonflys

A nice set of images, and would agree with what Tom has said about the highlights, oh and my mac's screen has just been calibrated. But I really like the last image, with it's sharp subject and nice bokeh.

Re: more dragonflys

Nice set,
On my screen the dragonfly looks about right its only the plant leaves that are a bit over exposed.
But as they say everybody's screen is slightly different.

Re: more dragonflys

Great set Mark and capturing a dragonfly in flight is a great bonus, well done.
