Bloedel Conservatory Meetup

Steveston Photowalks had a meetup at Bloedel Conservatory. I had fun playing with a few different lenses. The first four images are shot with a wide angle (14-24mm), the next six with a macro (105mm), and the last set of five is with a telephoto (80-400mm).

The birds at the feeding station were very tolerant and I was able to shoot them with the macro, with the baby chicks I was only a couple inches away. To get birds in flight I used the telephoto and focused on a perched bird and waited for another to fly through. The orange canary image is a composite with subsequent shots of the same bird coming in for a landing on the branch. Settings are below each image.
