, 1/2500 f/5.6, ISO 800, tripod.

Posatoio scelto Pannellino per sfondo Quando un posatoio si trova in una posizione strategica per la cattura dei micro insetti che volano sopra l'acqua, diventa molto ambito e avviene la lotta per la conquista. In questa foto la calopteryx splendens femmina di sinistra ha cercato di scacciare quella di destra, ma quest'ultima si è difesa bene e ha mantenuto la posizione. Dall'esperienza che ho avuto nel fotografarle, ho notato che le femmine di questa specie sono più determinate dei maschi: ho sempre visto femmine scacciare maschi o altre femmine e mai maschi scacciare femmine.

A really interesting document.
Given the background and the shutter speed I think you could also use a smaller aperture to buy a majority pdc, time to block the scene he'd had enough.
I would see well in the vertical.

Thanks for the visit and the board. In this kind of photos the pdc is never enough (the eye and chest of calopteryx left are not quite in focus). At the same time lengthen the shutter speed might have caused a little 'rough because the attack was a breeze.
