~ Once in awhile, fortune smiles…this series was taken at close range by the Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZE lens mounted on the EOS 1D X…it shows a female Orthetrum melania, 雌异色灰蜻, perched on a twig with a Diptera nearby…such a juxtapostion of species seldom occurs…Typhoon Soulik's rains had their blessing...these shots were handheld...minimal post-processing, primarily cropping
