Willow Emerald Damselfly full body shot It rarely happens that I get a damselfly sharp end-to-end, but the advantage of my current gear (D800) is that I can take a small step back and then later crop back in. Less DOF issues that way when hand-shooting. Chalcolestes viridis,Heesch,Macro,Willow Emerald Damselfly Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
