This metallic glass print captures a Common Bluetail resting in a shaft of sunlight on a weathered log, its electric blue body glowing against a soft rainforest blur. Crisp focus pulls you straight into the tiny textures, from the fine hairs on its head to the delicate lines of its wings, while the surrounding shadows add a calm, cinematic depth.
Photographed near Broken River in Eungella National Park, this Common Bluetail is a small Australian damselfly often grouped in with “dragonflies”, and it thrives around creeks and still water where it hunts smaller insects. Their juveniles live underwater as stealthy predators before emerging to transform into adults, and you will often spot them sunning themselves to warm up, then darting away with lightning speed.
What I love most about this metallic glass print is the blazing blue colour held in stunning detail, the translucent wings casting a beautiful shadow across the log, and the way the dark foreground and luminous green background funnel your eye to the centre, creating a captivating moment of stillness you can live with every day.
