[porkgrindx]

makes me wanna get a rolled up newspaper and smack them like flies

[Elainiwen]

@porkgrindx Enjoy your mosquitoes, then. Because dragonflies hunt them with pleasure, but when they're gone...

[dragonparty2]

Dragonflies are nature's helicopters. They look strikingly similar to them.

[damselfly61]

that would make an awesome screen saver

[makasaka]

It's percussion sticks with wings..

[kezadrone]

They look like those prehistoric ones at that speed. cool stuff. Megauera is it?. Anyway cool.

[funiron]

The way they move their wings is so cool

[Altairw]

It looks so epic! you should have used apocalypse now soudtrack lol.

[butterflyings]

enjoyed this so much ty

[steveavery77]

Some very clever stuff there.

[ilovetogofast88]

DRAGONFLIES RULE!!

[ajittffcure]

Very nice video. Dragonflies look so graceful during their flights!

[LooneyM3]

this is the one i want...

[thenoize]

Love it!

[mediascope]

Thanks for the Dragonfly Video!! Nice Work!!

They look quick even in slow-mo.. They have some tricky moves. "Dance of the Dragonflys"

You Rock..5 stars

[kurtinge]

Very nice and i like the bacground music go well with the movie, 5 stars from me.

[inventor65]

We must admire the creator of all living things....simply amazing

[JoTheVeteran]

Bah, i hate all bugs, no matter how cute or elegant.

[elainemax2]

Real cool. I took a closeup once of a wasp that looked like Tinkerbell in my garden.

[discoape]

Wicked! Caught the rod at 1:56! not everyday you get that!

[elainemax2]

Didn't look like a rod to me. Maybe. Or just a dragonfly farther away

[johnny102marvin]

Do you use Music Magix Maker for your digital music productions?

[luc59457]

Nature is so soothing

[lopez110472]

GOD IS AWESOME =D

[analyzingfunny]

The slow motiona dn the music makes it.

[TeknoStatik87]

Wow... it's really fast whatever is it lol @ 1:56

[jkarloschavez]

DAN you caught a very fast ROD in 1:56 min.

[matrixm777]

I saw something too. If Dan is using HD slow motion and something blurred past, it must've been really moving.

[luc59457]

Oh, that was just Oprah in her spaceship

[luc59457]

Not that fast, as you can see only 2/3 times the speed of the dragonfly.. It was probably a hummingbird, a bee, or some other animal/insect that flies really fast.

[whotoinfinity]

Once again you AMAZE!

Of all the bugs, in the universe, Dragonflys are my fav.

[GDragon9666]

beautiful! I was amazed when i found out the butterfly don't fly like birds...they actually create a vortex with their wings that generates the lift...AMAZING!

[nzdsl]

BEAUTIFUL/I luv dragonflys/music perfect for this/I agree/u shud be a nature photographer/nice steady hand/I too luv to photo nature w/ animals

[TaylorHolmes]

I gotta say, I kinda enjoy these little clips, even though I normally wouldn't, just cause I know who's behind the camera.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

:-) Thank You. I was planning on using all this footage for a wind turbine video concept (still on the way) This is fun too. So I am mixing one in every four or five alternative energy videos.

[pubtor]

flying sperms!

[trandoductin]

I would love to be a bat in this scene!

[trandoductin]

where did you get the music from? did you compose it yourself?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Music2hues Production purchase for documentary work (about $10 a track). I try to time everything with video editing and cutting the tracks up without being too noticeable, it usually is close. I have composed some digital stuff but not good for nature videos:-)

[web4deb]

According to my Snapple bottle cap, "Dragon Flies have 6 legs, but cannot walk" ;-)

[GDragon9666]

landing gear ofc!

[VisionQuest2012]

Your good at capturing nature. You should be a wildlife photographer.

[marvelhd]

dragonflies are the coolest...

[RupertsCrystals]

I always think dragonflies look like tiny helicopters.

[lvecsey]

almost makes you want to play one of them in a video game

[solarcradle]

They look so massive against the sky as a backdrop. Neato!

[halvy78]

If you would play that video backwards, it would look like X-Wings from Star Wars. ;-)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

:-) GOOD POINT.

[pvampire]

Still, wouldn't it be even more awesome if you could focus one of your fresnels on one of those babys in mid-flight and catch them bursting into flames in slow motion? Your own little version of star wars? haha...Someday you'll surprise me with such a video I hope....:)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Well, I missed a bird taking a dive at one while shooting this. Last summer a few mosquitos were in the wrong place at the right time. They did not burn but stopped flying, just knocked them silly. Not sure what came if them. I usually keep the lenses in the off position for safety and lizards which do not know any better.

[sciencefun127]

second, low the heck do you shoot 300 FPS as evening time. Well, I never know their wings did all that. Dragonfly wing wind turbine model?

[sciencefun127]

"HOW THE HECK"

[andruha11234]

:o first!
