OT: Couldn't believe how close he let me get... - Aquarium Advice

I was sitting on the porch and lo and behold there is this dragon fly. I love dragonflys, [acronym:f555b5638a="By the way"]btw[/acronym:f555b5638a]. Anyway, I figure by the time I get inside to get my cam he'll be gone, but when I come back he's still there. I snapped a few, forgive the DOF, the aperture was set way to low, but I didn't have enough light to take the pic without the flash with a higher aperture, the flash pics came out really crappy

Anyway, none of these pics are cropped, simply resized.

What beautiful EYES you have MR/Mrs dragonfly.

Really, really cool... That's the kind of shot I'm always looking for. I'm always running in to get my camera only to find that there's nothing to take a picture of when I get back out. hehe gj.

I don't know who made your camera but you might get some money selling those pics to them for their advertising.
