Mmmmm, Dragonfly.
I spent some time on the "Birds of North America" site [link] and couldn't find the proper name of this thing, so maybe one of you knows.
This flycatcher had a nest in the rafters of a house. On route to feeding it's young, it would often land on this stick and check if the coast was clear. I set up a 'trap focus' rig to get such a large capture of it. Basically, you set an A-type manual focus lens to focus on the spot where you expect the subject to appear, then switch the camera to auto focus, continuous mode and use a remote switch to hold down the shutter. Whenever something comes into focus in the spot, the camera automatically takes the pictures! The birds don't mind the camera sitting there making a bunch of noise.
I was making myself a sandwich when this picture was taken.
Taken near Peers, AB.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
