Dragonfly Trio

Dragonfly Trio, 1 of 3

Who could resist three dragonflies lined up in a row?

These dragonflies, which I believe are all Four-spotted Pennants, were quite cooperative as I took this opportunity to experiment with different f-stops to see what ranges might be in focus.

These were all taken at 1/1000 sec with the Tamron 180mm prime macro lens.

I was about three feet (100cm) from the closest one, on the right in first image. Their perches were about 12 inches (30cm) apart left to right and a bit closer than that in their distance from each other front to back.
