Macro Monday – Dragonfly

Another macro image for Macro Monday. And another one shot not with a dedicated macro lens. For this image, I used a telephoto zoom lens! I had a chance to try the 200-500 mm Tamron during summer event in local area photo club. The event was organized in the Wikiup Hill Nature Area, with many insects and flowers photo opportunities. I went to the lake, looking for frogs as many other participants, but I was out of luck. Dragonflies were cooperating with me better. There was enough of them there to pick the cleanest background, which got simplified additionally by the combination of foal length and aperture on the telephoto lens.
