PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Dragonflies. Use TV or AV.

4 Nov 2023, 9.13 am. Public garden of Hampton by Hilton hotel, Hainan, China.
A better camera which focuses on the eye of the dragonfly. Canon R5, Handheld, ISO 640, 81MM, F/4.0, 1/2000 sec.  I used TV because some dragonflies don't stay perched for long. Take multiple shots as not all will be sharp.

 CHINA - 4 NOV 2023: 9.13am. Hainan. Public garden of Hampton by Hilton Hotel. The male and female Variegated Green Skimmer (Orthetrum sabina) has the same appearance - pale greenish with white markings on its abdomen. It preys on other dragonflies. A strong and fast flyer.

FOLLOWING IMAGES TAKEN IN 2019 are not sharp.

Sat Jun 22, 2019. Full of wild life sightings today.

A gigantic black dragonfly around 5 inches long. Normal ones are around 3 inches long. Took a video. I also saw a squirrel eating a fallen mango after grabbing it from the road and sped up the tree.

A female pink-necked green pigeon trying to nudge a male one as they perched on a tree. The male flew off soon. Lizard 3 from nearby tree. Identified from plum size.  A small lizard, probably Lizard 2 sauntered fast away from me, where the black dragonfly is still hanging on the branches of the hedge. 



Fri Jun 21, 2019. Went to Jalan Salang house after lunch.

A pretty bright red dragonfly crossed my path as I walked to the exercise area at 8 am.
A good omen. Went to Jubilee bridge and then to lunch at Pow Seng in Serangoon Gardens.
