I like to think I've mastered the long-range close-up; it's kinda my thing. A 70-300 mm lens is my default and it spends more time at 300 than 70. I started on a fixed 500mm cassegrain-style manual lens 8 years ago and I just fell in love with it.

Impressive, thanks for sharing!

Are those handheld or on a tripod. I'd imagine you would need an extremely steady hand or super fast shutter speeds to get those.

First, fourth and fifth are shot by hand. Second is on a tripod, see attached image. Third was resting the camera on a wall.

The lens I use has a really good and aggressive stabilizer https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B003YUBTIU

I have the same lens, it's impressive how good the stabilizer is, considering the lens is relatively cheap!

Great pics BTW, loved the second one the most.
