The Hind view

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Palm Dart

Accidentally stumbled this beauty basking in the harsh noon light, while on a look out for some dragonflies. Had captured some frames with the zoom lens, but the moment I shifted to Macro lens it probably got disturbed and almost disappeared in to the thin air.

EXIF:

Canon 55-250 IS
F/8
Shutterspeed 1/400
ISO 200
Handheld, No flash fired

Nice colours. Did you try any compositions with the wings in focus? Thanks for sharing.

Couldnt, had switched to Macro lens and the moment I started narrowing the aperture it flew off, probably to the sound of the wheel or something else, not sure.
