I have taken quite a few pictures of dragonflies and damsels most of them at rest so I thought I would try and give myself a challenge taking pictures of them flying it is not that easy as I found out. Dragonflies can whizz around at speeds of 50kmh (30mph), more usually they coast along at 15kmh (10mph) which does not really sound much but when trying to track the flight whilst holding 2kg of camera, lens and using manual focus, well suffice to say it is quite a challenge but great fun with loads of blurred shots and several of "spot the dragonfly" which means it was too quick and it is not even in the picture.
