Dragonfly 10-23-14


This photo is very bright, you can see the light reflecting off of the dragonfly's body and wings and it gives the wings an almost crystal-like appearance. If you look at this photo and the next one comparatively it almost looks like this is a different dragonfly of a different color.


This one is darker than the other two and I think I like the lighting a bit better, it focuses more on the dragonfly then the pond below. It also shows the sky and, I think, a metaphor for how sometimes we can see and taste freedom but are still caught up in our own spider webs.


Here, the photo is taken from further away so we can see the spider web in greater detail, and we can see the empty space that surrounds out subject. The background here is a bit distracting and if the camera had been tilted down a bit more it would have cut out a majority of the distractions.


These photos were taken in a unique opportunity, in a spider web above my pond a dragonfly had been snared, making for a good string of photos.
