Photos of 25 Species

I Live in the Dandenongs and enjoy spending all my spare time out in nature. When the days are longer I travel further and camp out in the tranquility of remote places.

 

I find inspiration finding new species and ticking them off my hypothetical list. I'm up to about 50 odonata species for Victoria, the rarer ones are now harder to find.

 

My current photography equipment is a FujiFilm s100fs, which is adequate but doesn't quite have the macro ability or image quality I would like.

Please visit my galleries of unidentified species below.
