Morning Dew
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 31 May 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
I've just started trying to use my Nikon 70-300VR zoom lens for close-up photography and was pleasantly surprised by the way in which it blurs backgrounds.
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.
