Trivia: The Dragonfly is comparable to a digital still camera/video camera (capable of high dynamic range) of the future. They can search for prey in all directions (360 degrees) at the same time with their large compound eyes. Each eye contains up to 30,000 lenses!It has long been recognized and documented, that insects are the most diverse group of organisms, meaning that the numbers of species of insects are more than any other group. So why not give at least one of them a decent portrait?
One of the amazing insects that i like are the dragonflies. A dragonfly is an insect that belongs to the Order Odonata, suborder Epiprocta, or in the strict sense the infra order Anisoptera. Dragonflies predates the Dinosaurs, and currently over 5,000 species had been named, with more to go awaiting nomenclature classification.
I dont have a macrolens, so this shot was taken using a Fujifilm F200 EXR point and shoot (hence the poor quality), in Program AE mode. Focal length is 6.4mm, Exposure at 1/150 secs, ISO speed 200, Aperture at F9. PP was done using CS4
