Some experimental shot :) With the beloved Minolta MD50/1.4.

This one foot long blue tongue lizard was wandering our streets in the middle of the roadway, so I gently nudged it in the direction of some safer garden areas, but it came straight back out onto the pathway again. I wasn't really very close taking this - minimum focus distance is 20 feet, but I got as low as I could for the shot. I made sure it moved back to safety again.

This Black vulture (Coragyps atratus) was more interested in the 'former racoon' than me. There were several around but this fellow was almost too close. The Springfield Nature Center's 'Circle of Life' was quite evident.

Made by a friend of ours in Winnipeg Canada out of re-cycled stuff.

In my garden taking pictures of little birds at my bird feeding place, this jackdaw with an attitude was so close that my 600mm prime lens could only take a close-up of this black bird species.

A couple of shots taken as low as i could manage on the boardwalk at high tide. I guess the only way i will ever get lower will involve chest waders and or a right angle veiwfinder attatchment. Every inch closer improves separation

Found this at a tag sale.

Happy Looking Close On Friday

Of the Red-shouldered Kind. We were watching this young fella in the tree when he decided to fly down and past us, so close I couldn't focus on him in some frames!

This weeks "Macro Mondays" Theme of "Closed" had me unsure of what to photograph for a while. I was a little uninspired. I had a look through the photos today and saw a few thoughts I'd had already represented with some good photos.

 

I then decided to make my son's drinks bottle my subject and use a technique I'd used recently for the "Wheels" theme to actually close the bottle during the exposure and have it closed by the end. I also incorporated the "Complementary Colours" theme into the photo and selected a Green background with texture.

 

I do like photos with motion blur so I was happy to try this again.
