Yeah that sounds familiar we have to hide his ball. If we don't he will spend hour after hour putting the ball on you lap wanting you to throw it. It was a good little hike, the weather held out enough for us to have a bbq and a couple of beers in the sun.

What's your setup for this shot?

Canon EOS 1100D with Tamron 70-300mm tele-macro lens on macro setting (full zoom). Hand-held, lean in towards the subject slowly, taking shots as I go, and hope one or two are useable.

It was a shot of opportunity, as I had just spent about half an hour stalking these dragonflies without getting even a shot off, and then when I gave up and turned away he was sat on the ground more or less at my feet.

I have been there and done that chasing an insect.
Most people seem to shoot dragonflies with telephoto lenses
