A close-up image of what I think is a female Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum). If the ID is wrong, can someone correct me please, though I'm sure that Stan won't be far away.
Shot using an EF 100mm macro lens and a great deal of patience if I remember correctly.
Exposure details: EOS 400D, Av Mode, 1/100sec, f/8, ISO 200.
Although I haven't managed to get the wings and abdomen fully sharp, the eyes are in focus. This is one of my favourite dragonfly images, and I'm looking forward to following in Stan's footsteps and getting some more this summer.
Thanks for looking,
Ade
