The ongoing quest was almost over but as you will remember I wanted to shoot the PERFECT dragonfly in flight photo.

I don't think this one qualifies so I'll just keep on going :lol:

Mark,
What can I say?
You've done and mastered your skill very well.
The more I see your photos on this forum, the more my admiration to all all the Queenslanders, there're Rel, mitedo, oneputt etc... and now you've joined the macro wagon.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes Birddog, I am certainly in good company up here

Plenty of others around the country post some fantastic stuff. This sure is one terrific forum.

Wish that I can move in with all of you, I love the moods and the camarderies from all upthere.

Hey Slider,
Number 2 shot would have to be my fave. I never realised how many different colour combinations dragon flies came in, until people started posting lots of pics of them here. We'll be able to write the "DSLRusers What Dragonfly is That?" book soon.

kinetic,
"Dragonfly" is also a nick name of one the bird, which I had flown with in the VN War, the A-37 Attack Jet fighter Aircraft.

Mark - an excellent series of photographs. This dragonfly belongs to the 4th staffel of JG54 ”Grunhertz” of the Luftwaffe :wink:

That would have had an interesting colour scheme!!! Those things are still around, many south American countries still fly them.
I think this might be more "you" though Birdy.... it's ... Cessna O-1 Bird Dog!
