Hello friends in TL.

Been a while since I last post a dragonfly. This is what I think Brachythemis contaminata (Fabricius 1793) shot under poor lighting so the shallow depth was kept along the abdomen and head. I think this is the female which lacks the orange wing patches. Hand held at 1/40s.

Brachythemis contaminata (Fabricius,1793)

Found in Asia: Bangladesh, China, Guandong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Hainan, Indonesia, India, Japan, Cambodia, Lao, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Viet Nam

Sub-Order: ANISOPTERA
Super-Family: LIBELLULOIDEA
Family: LIBELLULIDAE


Thanks for viewing. Best regards.

Great macro of this dragonfly, I think the poor light worked in you favour here.

Hi Jusni,

Hello Jusni,
The combination of pin sharp and blurry in the same subject gives a dynmamic feeling!
Excellent point of view and a fine macro job, good light and attractive colours...
Simple but effective composition, the insect stands out well!
Greetings,

Wow, Jusni!!
what a shot! I love that beautiful gold tone to the dragonfly and the details are just awesome. I like, too, the way she's positioned on that stick and they both stand out wonderfully against that dark BG. Wow. That is fabulous! Many thanks,
Shelly
