Dragonfly

Macro photography is very interesting, but it´s not so easy. Biggest challenges are usually the focus and depth of field.

I took this dragonfly photo in the river side and there was some wind. Focus to eye was not so easy and had to take many photos before I got this one.

Place: Haparanda, Sweden
Target: Dragonfly (Coenagrion Hastulatum)
Date: 23rd of June, 2016

Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Shot: 1/320sec f/5.6 ISO100

Editing: Little bit sharpening and cropping.

Summer is the best time of the year to take macro photos here in North Finland. Fortunately summer is just in the half way, so there is lot of time to take more macro photos.
