Just read this on the way in to the office this morning:

Apparently this is a real dragon fly scratchchin and he took it on his mobile phone camera!!

That'll either be the new Samsung with built in SLR macro facility then or the new Nokia Pixar phone!

That Dragon fly is dead. They often die with no apparent damage and you can stand them back up to look as if they have just landed. I know as I found one, took a picture of it in said manner and then won a local photography competition for being such an excellent photographer mainly because I was able to sneak up on the most shy and active of insects.

£20 WH Smith vouchers spent on car mags with no guilty feelings at all! I was 12 at the time though.

Absolutely.

A Sony Ericsson phone with a Cybershot camera produces awesome photographs. My lowly 3.2MP one will produce outdoor photos of print production quality.

Just look at the supercars spotting thread, all of Tigerkoi's photos are taken on a Nokia N95, and they're pretty impressive...

Odd thread but....I worked in Louisiana last year on a dive boat which was moored in a swamp and it was crawling with dragonflies. They werent bothered by us at all, you could actually pick them up if your really wanted too!
If you stroked the back of them they used to curl thier tails up!
I took these pics with an old sony ericsson mobile-
