Tonight I went out on the deck to water my plants and there was this huge, beautiful dragonfly on the railing. I ran for the camera, planning to perfectly capture the glitter in its wings, only to realize I was way too terrified to go close enough to use macro-mode. With a flash it was crap, and without a flash, it came out horribly blurry, probably because I was half inside the house, half a step down on the deck, so as to remain safely away from the fly-away zone, and it was hard to keep everything steady.So I pulled the blurry version into Photoshop, applied a poster edges filter, removed the railing from behind the bug, added a little color, and voila! Cute now, not scary at all!
