    Default Red eyed Damselfly - Erythromma najas

    Two angles of the same creature.
    This was by the side of the town centre canal. The second photo pretty much shows why it has its name, and so I decided to put 2 shots up for that reason

    They are real 'horror film' eyes' aren't they?
    Apart from what a great creature they are, I am amazed at how the camera copes with me holding it at quite a distance (I have a 40-150 mm lens on) and pointing downwards, and yet it managed to cope with my natural sway (non-alcohol induced, I swear!), The image stabilisation on the Olympus is fantastic.

    Yep, god bless image stabilisation, from the man who can shake a respectable Dry Martini without trying.
