I got this amazing close up of one of the two new visitors and they are beautiful but I am missing my usual, rough around the edges little one. I am hoping that he is ok and has just moved on for the time being. In fact the new two are not fighting each other so one must be a female. So hard to tell them apart.

Photographed at RSPB Bempton Cliffs {Yorkshire, UK} where great close up views of these unique seabirds can be had.

This is a close up of the Heron in the Ambleside duck pond in my previous post below.

This is a close-up photo of lichen patterns on a rock in Pine Grove Park in Milton.

A lovely look at the petals on this partly open rose.

This blossom is about 2.5cm in diameter, and the tele lens is a whopping 450mm (on my APS-C sensor). One of the advantages of this mirror-reflex lens is that you can get close to the object (down to 90cm). I had not expected this, but I am in fact using this lens mostly for close-ups. Contre-jour/reflector.

Normally I do not crop so tight and close up as I did in this photo.

I just thought there was so a lot of interesting details in this portrait of the brown pelican.
