Eye in the Sky

By celestun
Large version ... really worth a look!

A Southern Migrant Hawker dragonfly...

... takes a mid-air pit-stop...

... allowing about 1 second to manually focus!

1/1000 @ f5.6 ISO 400 no flash

Also it helps to predict in advance where the next stop is likely to take place... a rather difficult process!
