I was sitting in a lawn chair beside a lake, waiting for large birds to appear to photograph them. While sitting there, this dragonfly landed on a twig about ten feet from where I was sitting. Using my Nikon D7100 with a Tamron 18-400mm lens, I captured this image of the dragonfly just before it left its perch. Settings were 1/1000 sec, f 6.3, ISO 320 and a focal length of 400mm.
