over 4 years ago

Hello friends,

Hope you all are well. Although we are passing critical time in Steemit platform from last few days, the initiative of @behindthephoto to arrange such a nice contest has given the opportunity to think something creative. In addition, thanks goes to @appreciator for sponsoring this event and the judges @nelyp and @johan.norberg for their hard work.

This is my second entry of ’Behind The Photo’ contest. Although I was not selected as winner of Edition #6, but got good appreciation from many people. Those appreciations encouraged me to attend this edition #7 contest.

However, my today’s topic is some close pictures of busy dragonfly and butterfly.

Few days back, I was travelling to my hometown on the occasion of my school friends gathering. This is the program of completing 50 years of my school. I left school more than two decades ago. So, I was very much excited to see some of my friends after a long time.

It is one-hour drive to my hometown from Dhaka where I stay. As I was much excited about the program, I started quite early and reached to the place at 7 am in the morning. The gathering will start at 10 am in the morning. I had enough time to roam around my beautiful village. Therefore, I went to a playground where I used to play in my childhood. There is a small bush beside the playground. There I found some dragonflies were flying. I took the Iphone from my pocket and took some pictures.

This is spring season in Bangladesh. It was 8 am in the morning. The day was quite sunny. The dragonflies were enjoying the environment of the best season. Those were dancing and flying here and there.

As I mentioned earlier, the spring season is running here. You will find many flowers blooming in this month. As a result, butterflies and bees were also moving around flowers to collect honey. I took some pictures of butterflies and bees, which were collecting honey from flowers.

I like to take pictures of insects. To me it is very much challenging to take pictures of moving objects. As you know dragonflies and butterflies don’t stand in a place for long. Always keep moving from one place to another place. As a result, I had to put hard effort to capture those pictures.

As I took all these pictures very much close to the dragonflies, I had to move silently towards those. It took almost one hour to capture these pictures.

Finally, after completing the pictures, I started for the program to meet with my old friends. It was quite an amazing and memorable day for me. Here is one picture of our gathering.
