More Flora..er..Pictures

It's that time of year again...

January 26 is the Republic Day of India, and in Bangalore, where I live, the local botanical garden puts up a massive flower show.

I've not been to the show since I was a kid - and it's mayhem out there on the 26th...so Mum, Smitha and I went out there on the first weekend following...

Smitha wanted to learn how to use the 30D, and I, not having much of a clue myself, thought I'd try a few shots as well.

We shot almost exclusively with the 75-300 lens. The camera was mostly on High-speed Multi-shot mode, and the lens got a chance to show off the ability to take technically difficult shots of flying bees and beetles...in focus, natch!

The gardens were still crowded, and the amount of litter everywhere was appalling - yet another indictment of what people who keep their houses spotless will do in public...

I've uploaded the pictures with reduced resolution to save space. Track back to me if you want any picture in full resolution and I'll do my best to e-mail it to you :)

Enjoy!!
