Up Close and Personal

During vacation last year I started to play around with some close up photography. Nothing too fancy or extreme, I just wanted to learn a bit about the process. Here are three shots I took. I am hoping to start working on this subject more, as time allows.

Here is a small blue flower, common in the grass next to the lake:


A close up view of the bark of a birch tree (remember my creepy crawlies from a few weeks ago? The same tree, the same session. Just no bugs in this one!):


This is a close up of the fruiting bodies on some moss. Not as sharp as I would like, but I hope that a little bit (meaning a lot) of practice will help me to improve on that:


Thanks to all of you that visit my humble site to look at my pics. If you like them, let me know (I am always fishing for compliments), and tell your friends about the site. As spring moves into Michigan, and the migration picks up, I am hoping to get a new batch of bird and wildlife shots. Stay Tuned!
