Macro Photography and Birdies

Macro photography is fascinating. It lets you look closely at tiny subjects without the hassle of a microscope or magnifying glass, or of handling the real thing. It’s much easier when someone (me, for example) has already done the work of choosing interesting small subjects, photographing them and editing the files. All you have to do is make a cup of coffee, or whatever your favourite drink is, open the pictures and enjoy a close look at your leisure.

Take a look at this one. I shot it right in front of my house, on a flower bush.

And here are a few local birds, photographed on a different walk. I’ve captioned the shots so you know which is which.

I recommend viewing the photos, macros especially, uncompressed in the album on Flickr:
