Location
The photo was taken at the Biesbosch in the Netherlands, this is a huge wetland laying in between two main rivers.Time
It was almost noon.Lighting
The sun had reached almost her highest point, so the shadow was very minimum, which allowed me to get the effect I wanted.Equipment
My Canon EOS RP, with an 18-400 Tamron lens.Inspiration
The almost metal like appearance of this damselfly was striking. So I followed it until the moment it sat down to pose for me.Editing
Only some cropping.In my camera bag
My camera and spare battery.Feedback
Be patient and keep following the subject until you can make the right shot.
