Clatsop Plains Dragonfly Photo Gallery For a short course on damselflies of the area click here Clatsop Plains is located on the Oregon Coast between Seaside and Warrenton, Clatsop Co.  Most of the dragonfly images presented here were produced from freshly collected specimens that were scanned using a ScanMaker X6EL flatbed scanner scanning at 720 dpi or better then color corrected and reduced using Adobe Photoshop. For more dragonfly scans using a similar technique, but saved at a much higher resolution see: http://www.ups.edu/biology/museum/UPSdragonflies.html Other dragonfly references can be found at the bottom of this  page
