【题目】

Many people love taking photographs. Some are good at taking pictures of people. Others focus more on sports or nature.

Mr. Luo, a retired railroad worker, took up photography at age 60. He joined a photography club and became an active member of it. He often went on bike rides and took pictures. This summer he did something unusual but amazing with his camera.

On that day, Mr. Luo got up at 5:00 am. He went to a pond in the countryside where there were always plenty of dragonflies. With great excitement, he set up his camera. First, he found a water bug in the muddy water. He waited until the bug climbed up a lily pad. There, it stopped to rest. Fifteen minutes later, the bug's body began to change. The skin split behind the head, and the adult dragonfly crawled out of its old skin. One hour later, the dragonfly started to separate its wings, which had been wet and folded at the beginning. Then, the dragonfly opened its wings for the first time. In another hour, the dragonfly moved with its wings and flew off for food.

He took a series of pictures of a dragonfly that was changing from a nymph to an adult. Using his camera, he recorded (记录) the whole process, which took nearly five hours!

People are amazed at the series of pictures. Whenever people praise (夸赞) him for his work, Mr. Luo says, "Don't give the credit to me. Give it to nature. I just use my camera to record moment and show it to the world."
