Re: Macro Photography
Yes, all from Florida, RP. I probably should note that with each entry.
Yes, Sis, you do need to get very close, but if you're patient and don't make sudden moves, it's not as hard as some of the other insect types. Also, they're quite large, relatively speaking, so you don't have to get as close as you do with say, flies, ants, etc.
Continuing with the Florida dragonflies, a few close-ups, and then a few Damselflies.

Re: Macro Photography
I prefer to see them not that close, it kind of ruins their beauty On the other hand it shows the ingenuity of nature
Thank you, sis

Re: Macro Photography
PRWIN - I do use extension tubes on very small insects like ants,mosquitos, tiny flies, etc, but not on larger insects like the dragonflies, etc.
Here are some teeny tiny flies from the Kgalagadi I used the ext. tubes on:
Thanks for your continued support Sis and RP
