I love nature and have taken up nature photography as my hobby in October 2007. Dragonflies and Damselflies are one of my favourite subjects and I would like to dedicate this blog on these beautiful creatures. Most of the information such as their IDs are extracted from experienced bloggers listed on my Useful Links such as Mr Tang, Dragonchaser, Matinggeckos, Mr Choong etc. They are all experts in Odonata and I enjoy reading their blogs.

When I was a kid ...
I used to catch dragonflies & damselflies when I was a boy mostly using my bare hands. For some species that are very skittish, I would put on “sticky glue” at the tip of a long stick to catch it. When I started learning to shoot nature photography, dragonfly was also the first moving subject that, even with my mediocre skills, I was able to get quite pleasing results. They are photogenic creatures that I find relatively easy to photograph. By the way, when I was a kid, I actually thought that damselflies are babies of dragonflies ;-)
