During the time of confinement in Spain for COVID-19, more than 60 dragonflies were born in the pond that I built in my garden for birds to drink from. But not all survived. Some fell into the water when they did not have enough energy to fly and drowned. By closing the diaphragm a lot I achieved two effects: that the dragonfly came out all in focus and that the reflections of the sun looked like stars.
