Local Dragons

Can't let Kenny have all the fun, so I managed to find a couple dragonflies that would sit still for a while.

7D, Tamron 180, the first 2 images are natural light, a little fill flash from a 430EXII on bracket was used in the 3rd image.

Love the details on the dragons' eyes!

Thanks Therese. They do have cool looking eyes and sometimes they seem to be smiling for the camera.

Looking good, Dan (got keep Kenny on his toes). To me, the first two could have used a bit of fill light/flash, and the last one is spot one. All the images are tack sharp, and nice DOF.

Thank you John

Love the eyes, I have seen this type of dragon with the yellow and black stripes here in South Korea but the eyes are different here and not as cool as yours. : )

Thanks James. I'll leave the identification to the experts, Kenny, but maybe these guys have Korean cousins.
