Agreed. I just tossed my camera into the back yard...

Dang it, these are even better than normal, Hayath. Sigh.

Stunning, as always!

Hayath,

Fantastic shots once again, especially the dragonfly.

I'm hoping to learn from you .... so were these Handheld or tripod? Stacked? What Aperture?

Thanks

Richard

Thanks, Richard!
All of these were single-shots, handheld. The diffused light really helps optimizing details with stopped down apertures.
I generally shoot around f8-f10, f10 being the choice if I'm getting close to 1:1 magnification

Absolutely stunning photos ! The Dragonfly wins for me
What an amazing creature.

Thanks!
I feel they are that perfect combination of natural beauty and mechanical precision
