Polaroid, and especially black and white used in a less "high spec" 600 box camera comes as close as anything I have explored in bringing the emotion of the Fenlands. How I see it and what I feel when I'm in it.

The intricate workings of the inside of an antique pocket watch can be seen in this macro image.
This is a pocket watch made by the Elgin National Watch Co. We used our 35-80mm lens to take this picture. We also used extension tubes to magnify the inside of the watch. Extension tubes create a very shallow depth of field so we used a method called focus stacking to get the entire watch in focus.
Built in 1900, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris was first a train station, the Gare d’Orsay, so this clock is a reminder from the train station.
"I vant to suck your blood!" Spoken in a cheesy old-school vampire voice. Tick, Photographed in Maryland.
Single frame, shot hand held. Canon 80D, Canon MPE macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400, flash set to 1/16th power.
The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell.
The Elizabeth Tower, which stands at the north end of the Houses of Parliament, was completed in 1859 and the Great Clock started on 31 May, with the Great Bell's strikes heard for the first time on 11 July
The tick at Whitty's Lagoon. Enjoy this little bloodsucker. Out with Karlee working at big scales with reflections to make these creatures. This is the non reflected side mirrored.
This is a bit of a crop and not really sharp, but I wanted to show a few things about these black-browed albatrosses (parent with young).
The nest here is a tall mound of mud and grass with a big bowl on top for the egg/young. You can see the lip in this shot. Black-browed albatross breed once a year, laying only one egg. A young bird takes 7 - 10 years to become a breeding adult. This 'lifestyle' presents a challenge in recovering from population crashes, be they natural (bird flu) or manmade (overfishing/long-lining).
The parents are quite attentive, taking turns to care for the young and spending time grooming the chick. It is amazing how gentle these very large birds are with their tiny offspring.
In this case, the chick is being checked over and groomed, but still has a significant tick infestation on the underside of the beak. There are recesses that provide them a bit of protection from the adult's beak.
