Canon 5d mark4, Sigma 150-600 at 600mm, Great Swamp Wildlife Observation Center, New Jersey, USA

I found this guy flying over the lake, a foot caught on some long grass which was wet and dragging him down. He fell to the water once or twice, but got up again, flying with the extra weight hanging from his foot. I caught him, and carefully held him while untangling the grass from his foot. When I released him, he flew in a big circle around my kayak, as if to thank me, and it was then when I was able to take his photo.

If a dragonfly isn't speeding around then they're taking a long needed break, which is exactly what I like due to how still they stay! caught this little dude in the Cloud Forest of Ecuador

This little dude took me ages to catch! they are so fast and constantly moving, was certainly a challenge to capture him on camera - nonetheless it was very fun to chase for 30mins!

This little creature was such a nice model.

This dragonfly was so tiny, smaller than my pinkie....Im surprised it stayed to let me shoot some photos

Patience paid off standing by the water

I saw my first of these about a week ago, for about a second. I've been hunting them ever since.

Parched grass and the first green dragonfly I've ever seen. My first focus stack also.
