Blashford Lakes
This set of photos were taken today at Blashford Lakes. The reserve again had a great number of damselflies about, and I have some shots of those in the following. I also used the 100mm lens to take some natural light shots of some smaller insects, although on a couple, due to light and/or depth of field requirements I did use flash.
Here’s my pick of the shots from today.
