I finally got to take a close-up of a dragonfly. A bunch of them were swarming in the garden all evening, and one obliged to sit on a flower for a while so I could take pictures. I used the 50mm with one +4 close-up filter (magnification filter) and one +2 filter. I was extremely pleased by the outcome. This picture is actually true macro, meaning the dragonfly depicted is greater than 1:1.

It’s springtime in Canada, and the bees are out. Lots of pics to follow in the weeks to come, methinks. I like taking pictures of flowers.

• Nikon D70, Nikkor 18-70mm at 70mm, 1/1600 sec at f/4.5, ISO 200, Skylight filter
• 1/1600 really was a little optimistic, I brightened it a bit.
