I’ve finally done it! I mean I’ve taken pictures of dragonflies flying but this photo is better. It took a lot patience and a cooperative California Darner Dragonfly to get this shot.
Its not easy to get a photo of a dragonfly.
As a bonus I started my day at 5:15 AM to the sound of thunder. I literally jumped out of bed, ran to the window to make sure it was really lightning and was out the door by 5:23. I try not to miss lightning photo opportunities if I can help it. Here is one shot from the batch:
I love the smell of lightning in the morning.
I went home, burned a bagel and left for work. All in all, a great day.

Alexander’s Print Advantage asked me to take some photos of their balloon for the Freedom Festival Balloon Race. The Alexander’s balloon was the first one up but due to windy conditions, it never got off the ground.

I’ve never really worked with props before and balloons are a difficult to get used to, especially on a windy day. Anna requested some “retro or vintage” photo effects; I may have gone a little overboard, but I think the final product turned out fantastic.
