Artist's Comments

i have hundreds of dragonfly's buzzing around our dam, and this morning i crept down there with a net and swiped a few. after 5 mins in the freezer i could take good shots coz it was sleeping, but only for bout 45 seconds, and then the warmth from my hand would wake em up again and they'd fly off!!

there are 4 main dragonfly's down there. i wanna get a decent photo of all of em. :)

Haha. This is a really good shot. I'm surprised at how comfortably the dragonfly just seems to sit there.

That's really good mister. :)

yah! freezing works pretty well. doesn't kill em, they wake up after a few mins, but you can get really good pictures of them as they start to wake up. like this one where he has 'thawed' just enough to hang on. but he's still too frozen to move lol :)

there's hardly any dragonflies around here *meeps* I remember there used to be so much when I was little, same with butterflies and ladybugs. Don't know what happened though. I think it's something to do with all the excavations happening, the so-called care being taken for the nearby creek (more like butcher old trees and destroy picturesque scenery), and quite a few of the neighbours about the place using poisons. Either that or I was imagining it all along!

terrible shame that. im lucky coz we got our own dam, and heaps of fish in there and bugs all over the place. bad if you hate bugs. but good if you got a new camera to try out. :)
