Tree lichen

Some oddly colored lichen covering a tree in our garden.

Disclaimer: I'm very new to macro photography so please bear with me. Today I finally bought a Nikkor 105mm F2.8 Mikro lens, and these are some very early shots.

Skip the disclaimer, you need not be ashamed, it's good. It must be a combination of lens and human with a load of experience:)! Posted 13 years ago

  In all fairness, I know my limitations. I'm still very much a beginner. I have pretty good equipment and my main strategy is to shoot a lot and hope for the best. I'm trying to better myself though. Posted 13 years ago

The Common Sunburst Lichen

Xanthoria parietina is a foliose, or leafy, lichen. It has wide distribution, and many common names such as common orange lichen, yellow scale, maritime sunburst lichen and shore lichen. It can be found near the shore on rocks or walls (hence the epithet parietina meaning "on walls"), and also on inland rocks, walls, or tree bark.
