I managed to find a rare orange dragonfly in my garden, the reason why I call this dragonfly rare is because its population has decreased greatly and now it is very difficult to find it around my area unless we enter the forest area. This dragonfly has a relatively small size when compared to the size of the soldier dragonfly, but the beauty of this dragonfly can be seen clearly in terms of its color. I know this is a great opportunity and I don't want to waste it, but the next problem is how do I photograph it.

As usual, I will definitely wait for the right moment and opportunity when I want to photograph this dragonfly, I don't want to repeat the mistakes that I often make when I want to photograph insects, I started approaching this dragonfly from behind and when this dragonfly didn't show any suspicion towards me, I started to step forward and from there I started photographing it, I even managed to photograph this dragonfly using the help of a macro lens so that every detail of this dragonfly can be seen clearly.

How do you photograph this species of dragonfly? When I photograph it, it always flies off in the other direction and disappears, and I really like some of the portraits of this small creature, which are so detailed and beautiful.
