Dragonflies in Cyprus in June
I took these images of some dragonflies whilst birding in the Akamas area of Cyprus.
They were all taken with 70-200 F/2,8 plus 2x Teleconverter. The closest focus on this set up is about three feet, which is perfect for insects.

Swallowtails in Cyprus
On a recent visit to Cyprus, I was lucky to find a small colony of very confiding Swallowtails. They always stayed very low to the ground so I was able to get these low-angle shots.
They were taken with the Nikon D4 and 70-200 F/2.8 and 2x TC combo. This set-up allows close focus of about one metre.
