To add to the dragonfly postings of late, here is a dragonfly EXUVIA, (the shed exoskeleton of a larval odonate). I'm no dragonfly expert, but lately I'v'e been learning from our local Sacramento Odes expert, Tim Manolis, the author of "Dragonflies and Damselflies of California". What a treat to be able to go into the field with him!
Capture made with a tripod mounted Nikon D200, 105 f2.8 Micro Nikkor at f16, 1/6th sec, spot meter mode, manual exp mode, self timer. The legs closest to us are OOF as they were sticking way out of the plane of my focus, even at f16:(. C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.
