I think it's my older work, before digital. I had to scan it into my PC so it's lost some impact.
they were shot on Ectachrome in my Nikon FM.

I love nature and all animals............
And you know that ?
Often, near the lakes, Dragonflies are so beautiful in the mountains...
and I love to look at them when they in loved...
They offer us this so nice image in the sky...
Oh yes, when dragonflies love together, they make a lovely heart, boy and girl dragonfly together !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry for my poor english !!!!)
My lovely heart for you, dear friend...

I was fortunate enough to capture two dragonflies mating, you may find it in my gallery. The only time I have seen that. Looking forward to shooting more this spring.
Your English is not bad, please do not worry.

They are beautiful and hard to shoot. Did you check mine and Mar's? We went "buggy" shooting them one day!

Yes, and you both are getting excellent results because that's the most difficult way to shoot insects. You have no control over them or the background.

Nice shot....dragflys are pretty...but when them fly they're scary...

They are only dangerous to other insects. They are all alive and in my dining room, and I release them when I am finished with the shoot. That way I can control the subject and background. I learned this from a four star exhibitor. ( Nikon World, Camera 35, Peterson's Photographic) He taught me much, was my mentor, and propelled my work beyond my experience.
