Now this ought to have been taken with my 100mm Macro Lens, but all I had was Canon R5 Mk II + RF200mm-800mm lens, with a minimum focal distance of 0.8m at 200mm.
But I get the terrible feeling it was better done with the telephoto lens !?!
Anyway, what might be a female “Beautiful Demoiselle” (but could be some other sort of Damselfly), nowhere near water.
I meant physically squish it, I tried to take a photo of a praying mantis with a 22mm lens, was so fixated on getting close enough I nearly crushed the poor thing. Fortunately the lens hood hit the wall first.
Mmm, lens hoods are vital lens protectors - I’m not sure mine have ever usefully stopped glare, but protecting from knocks - invaluable!
