Emerald Damselfly
Reference: DR13
Location: Rushbush Pond, New Forest
Gallery: Dragonflies,
As you head towards sunset and the temperature drops butterflies and dragonflies become more approachable. This makes it easier to take your time and set up the shot so that you can isolate the insect against a plain background and in this case shoot towards the setting sun to get that backlit halo effect.
