Cee’s foto challenge is Small Objects.
As I am not a fan of small objects and not yet into macro photography, my archive on small subjects is limited.
This image was taken in Plover Cove , Hong Kong in the hot season when the region was frequented by typhoons (hurricanes ).
While taking photo of the island, sea and people boating in the area, I caught two dragonflies flying in the image. Dragonflies always appear before an impending typhoon.
Not only the dragonflies appear small, the sampan with two people boating and other boats in the area appear small as well.

How interesting – did a typhoon happen after the dragonflies?
Think hatching of the dragonflies is related to low air pressures which is a sign of coming typhoons but not always so. From memory, it didn’t happen on that particular incident. Regards, Michael
Happy 元宵节, Michael!
This year, it coincides with valentines day too. Same to you Sam 🙂
At first I thought they were helicopters way in the distance and I was going to say they look like dragonflies. Seeing as they are…now I can say they they look like helicopters way in the distance. Apart from my silliness, the photo is great, nice and moody.
The photo would appear better if the two dragonflies are clear of the hillside background. It is the first time that I got dragonflies flying in my photos. Glad that you like the image 🙂

Thank you!
You don’t need to do macros for small. I like you photo. Thanks so much for playing!!
Happy to post on Cee’s again. Thanks for the kind words!

Peace and tranquility from Hong Kong’s.
Thanks for reblogging this on 🙂
Great capture. 😀
Thanks for the comment 🙂
The dragon flies are not small…same size as the sampan? Probably two small planes? Very interesting!
Hi, the lens could be cheating. Objects near to the lens will appear large but those at a distance will appear small. I have another photo which shows just one dragon fly flying but appears much bigger!
Nice shot you got there!
Great to hear from you, Laura and thank you for the nice comment!
Your lens must have infinite depth of field!!! – that’s quite extraordinary, Michael.
Hi, Marg, the dragon flies were caught unintentionally into the image!
nice shot of the dragonflies, great capture. happy valentines day! 🙂
Glad that you like the dragon flies. Have a great Valentine day to you as well!
I thought the dragon flies were helicopters or planes! Very interesting effect. I guess I should’ve asked before if it’s alright to reblog your posts. I didn’t know the rules about reblogging. Sorry about that. Is it alright to reblog this one? Thanks Michael.
Hi Rosh, there is no problem, thanks for reblogging this on. Have a great week!
Ok great. You have a great week too!

Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Cheers
Hi, I don’t even know my blog is on Yahoo News! Is that right? Is it just this post or a link to the post? Will be interested to see what it is like. Regards, Michael
