This metallic glass print captures a Common Bluetail dragonfly resting in a warm shaft of sunlight, its electric blue body glowing against the soft green hush of the rainforest. Perched on a weathered log, the dragonfly becomes the still centre of a scene that feels quiet, intimate, and alive, with light and shadow doing their own delicate dance.
Photographed near Broken River in Eungella National Park, the Common Bluetail is one of those tiny rainforest jewels you notice only when you slow down. Dragonflies are powerful fliers and skilled hunters, using their sharp vision to track prey mid-air, and they spend much of their life cycle as aquatic larvae before emerging to shimmer through the forest edges and creek lines.
What I love most about this metallic glass print is the blazing, vibrant blue captured in crisp detail, right down to the fine hairs on the head and legs. The shadow of the translucent wings laid across the log adds a stunning extra layer of texture and story. Then everything else melts away, with a dark, soft foreground and a luminous, bokeh background that pulls your eye straight to the dragonfly, and keeps you there.
