Dragon Flies tend to pick a perch from which to hunt. I attached the figurine using the hand shape to grip a stub of the branch and left it there for hours. Set the camera on a small wooded box and used shims to position it. A piece of aluminum foil was used to reflect the infra red trip for the shutter.

Sunrise over the Potomac River at Colonial Beach, Virginia.

I don't feed them but they seem to like my voice and allow me to get very close.

Dense fog was burning off when I arrived at church.

Predawn shot across the Potomac River using a reduced flash to bring out the driftwood and stump.

Beautiful Dragonfly held still for me long enough. Nice color in the rocks made for great contrast.

Mid October reflection of the sunrise on Williams Creek in Virginia, USA.

In a seldom used part of a Potomac River park on the edge of a drop off.

This guy was too busy chewing through his black walnut to care about me snapping pics.

Held still long enough for me to get a couple of good shots.

Excellent fishermen, they are a joy to watch on Williams Creek in Virginia.

Found this guy in the grass behind a cousin's house. Props all found within a 1 foot radius of the location.

I like taking pics of spiders and their webs. There was a stiff but erratic breeze making this shot of the marble sized spider a challenge.
