In a
recent post I described an early morning shoot in July that took place in very damp, misty conditions. These conditions resulted in a heavy dew that covered plants and insects alike in millions of tiny water droplets. In addition to the Small Skipper butterfly featured in that previous post, I was also fortunate to find a Common Darter dragonfly whose wings really showed off the dew to full effect.
The following images were taken over the space of about an hour with the amount of dew declining over that period as the sun slowly burned through.

Sweet shots, Matt. I like all three, but the first is a beauty.
ReplyDeletethanks a lot Andy
ReplyDeleteThese are just superb, Matt. The results you're getting with that lens tick every box for me.
ReplyDeleteMore please!
These are stunning Matt. The subject in the first one really pops against the lovely colour in the background and the web images tells a story. Above all, they just look incredible.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Simon and Christian, I appreciate the feedback.
