To start, here's a male Diplacodes trivialis


Tv 1/160s Av f/13.0 ISO 100 Metering Mode: Center Weighted
Mode: shutter priority Flash: fired Lens: EF 100mm macro USM

Finally, 2 male Rhyothemis phyllis.

At first sight I thought they are bees because of the colors.

Uncropped handheld shots. Comments are welcomed.

思慶兄這是怎麼拍的？看起來很棒。翅榜的透明感都抓的到，是近距離加高檔器材還是.....
我用Nikon 4500 要拍小動物都沒折，除非是不幸陣亡在路上的。

Chao Chang et al:

Just added the EXIF info... hope the info will be useful to some.

CP4500 in fact most Coolpix macro function is very good... the trick is try get as close as you can... dragonfly might fly away but most will fly back again to the same spot.

In other words, try to observe their behavior first before squating and getting your shirt dirty like a army recruit... yes the 1st shot were taken at ground level-lying down

..

the trick is try get as close as you can... dragonfly might fly away but most will fly back again to the same spot.

Thanks for the trick! I thought you probably had a great camera which allows you to shoot in a great distance.

30cm that's roughly the working distance for 100mm macro, if you want further you shall need 180mm L macro
