"Aeshna Isosceles"

This is Aeshna Isosceles, a dragonfly. I shot this lady with the pb-6 and pb-5 bellows, two extension tubes, and a 105 micro lens. I used Speedo strobes and a homemade soft box to light her, while placing green and red reflective paper under her for accent colors.

This is really awesome. Why are you in school?

I'm sure Aeshna loved her portrait. Nice job on the focus and accent colors--they really make her stand out from what would have been an otherwise bland background. Well done.

Good idea to use green and red paper for accents! The color is part of the reason why this is such a great photo. Good focus. Your effort really paid off in this.
