Banded demoiselle - Calopteryx splendens

Captured at Danube river, 2-3 m from bank, so I couldn't get in good distance to make a close-up and had to use the long lens.

Using long lenses on macro subjects certainly is an under appreciated option. It may not be a first choice, but a huge benefit is that typically the depth of field is no problem at all. Posted 9 years ago

  Sometimes I use 70-200 mm lens, but in this it was not with me, so I had to use 200-400 mm lens. Nevertheless, I've got a couple of acceptable photos. Posted 9 years ago
