UP Close and Sometimes Personal

One of my favorite photography subjects is up close.  Although I like using Macro lenses and tube extensions,  getting up close and sometimes personal without the aid of the aforementioned is often rewarding as well.  The personal side of my theme needs a little clarification. We all have an area of space around  us that we consider personal.

Now I didn't physically get inside the area I define as personal, but in a sense; I did with the lens.  The four pictures offer very different views of subjects but are keeping with the theme of up close and sometimes personal. The rose petal, plumeria, and the Aboriginal Native were photographed using a 75-300mm telephoto Canon lens with image stabilizer.  The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle was shot with a 28-135mm Canon lens with image stabilizer. So when you are capturing images of different subjects, when you think you're close get a little bit closer.
