Thanks Dan.
I don't think there is a way to attract dragonflies and damselflies as
these are carnivorous.
I just sit still so they get used to my presence. There is always a
period they land to rest or eat.
My main problem always (as with butterflies) is to have the right lens,
either long tele or macro 90 mm.
I'm now trying with a Caruba macro extender tube on the K1 with a 70-200
lens but this limits the maximum focus distance.

WOW! Great catch, and well rendered. I love the sharp focus on the
sitting damselflies contrasted with the motion blur of the wings on the
flying one.
I saw a few dragonflies or damselflies in the garden around our pool this
weekend, but they were too flighty, and I could never get close enough even
to attempt a shot. Is there any way to lure them to alight, like one can
sometimes lure butterflies to alight on a piece of fruit or some sweetened
water?
