| Everlasting daisies were the mainstay of the display at Mt Annan Botanic Gardens |
 |
| I tend to mix my photo lens choice between a Macro lens and a long lens - in this case I used a 300mm f2.8 Canon telephoto. A bit of overkill but I'd brought it along in the hope of seeing some interesting birds - which we did - but it was also useful to isolate subjects while producing sublime out of focus bokeh effects behind the main subject. But it is a heavy piece of kit to carry for any length of time. |
 |
| While a general view of the gardens is always a good idea, I far prefer to go in as close as possible. Natalie was using (her) Macro lens so I was left with my old 24-70mm lens to frame this close-up. It's actually a good lens for close-ups even though it's not officially a Macro lens, it will focus pretty close to the subject. Like the 300mm telephoto, it's still big and heavy... |

| For me one of the most attractive parts of Mt Annan Gardens is that the area is divided into specific botanic zones: eucalypts, Banksia, bottlebrushe, etc, making it easier to appreciate the different species. This is the Wattle garden - in full bloom. Spectacular! |
