Male Emperor Dragonfly

I was over at Brascote Pits on Sunday and a male Emperor Dragonfly was on patrol. It hovered occasionally, which gave me an opportunity to photograph it. At first I couldn't quite keep it in focus long enough to fire the shutter, but after a bit of experimenting I came up with the right technique and managed to get some good results.

    Cheers Colin, it was on the pit by the car park. Opposite corner to where the grebes are nesting. Go through gate and turn right. You will see some small lillypads and it was around there.
