Tracy Aviary

 I've lived in Utah for most of my life and while I knew that Tracy Aviary was a thing, I had never visited until a couple of weeks ago.  I've gotta say, I was blown away by the place.  They have a fantastic collection of birds from all over the world.  In addition, the grounds were beautiful and offered so many opportunities for photographs.  I will definitely go back.

Wildflowers

Last week, we spent some time in Montana with some good friends.  When it wasn't snowing, the wildflowers were out in force.

Daisy

The other day, I took the opportunity to spend a few minutes with some daisies that we bought to add to the flower beds.  They were still hanging out on the back patio, so it was a good opportunity to grab some images in some nice lighting.

The two images above were shot with the Canon EOS R and the Canon EF 180mm Macro lens.  For the next two images, I switched to the EOS RP so that I could take advantage of a feature called Focus Bracketing.  With this feature, the camera shifts the focus deeper and deeper into the image as it takes multiple images.  Those individual images are then stacked in software to give you an image with sharp detail front to back.  Take the time to click on the images and explore the details.
