Wideangle Common Darter

This summer I have enjoyed showing insects in their environment using my Tokina 35mm macro lens, as may have become evident from earlier posts.

Here are 2 more examples of this style of photography. They show a female Common Darter dragonfly photographed at a local nature reserve on a cool, blustery day. The cool conditions meant the dragonfly was approachable and the cloud cover provided some nice soft light, great for showing off dragonflies' wings. The wind was a pain and so I had to carefully time my shots between gusts but I was quite pleased with how these 2 turned out.
