    Digiscoping Dragonflies

    Wow Excellent shot. Here is a species that I may never see in this country without travelling a long distance from southern England. I believe they’re considered to be gone from there former areas in surrey, actually only 20mins from my house. This is the first photo I have seen of this species...

    Tim, excellent shot, looks like you have mastered the technique and equipment. :t: I have finally caught up with a Red-eyed Damselfly Ken, but only managed on distant shot at the Basingstoke canal over lunchtime using the 3x converter and Coolpix 4500. I didn’t fancy the looks I would get...

    Digiscoping Dragonflies

    Thanks Ken, yes I would quite like to find Red eyed Damsel, and get some shots. Probably my best Digiscoped Dragonfly shot yet. Four-spotted chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata) Taken at Thursley Common Surrey. Rich

    Digiscoping Dragonflies

    This subject was touched upon within another thread. I wondered if anyone else had used the technique to photograph insects? I think its defiantly worth consideration for those who already have a Digiscoping set-up and are interested in Odonata. Provided you can find the subject which is always...
