Prospect Park - July 1, 2006 (84 pictures)
I tried a new 105VR macro lens for this tour. The resulting focal length of 157mm was too long to easily take pictures.

Prospect Park - May 22, 2011 (90 pictures)
I tried a 60mm macro lens for this tour. It gave me an effective focal length of 90mm. It was a little long, though much better than the 105VR which gave me an unmanageable focal length of 157mm.

Forest Park - July 4, 2011 (62 pictures)
Most pictures were taken with a 90mm equivalent macro lens. Hence all pictures are closeups. Some of the pictures didn't focus well. I had the focus on center weight average and sometimes the camera decided what I was pointing at wasn't the best spot to focus on. It should have been spot focusing.

Inwood Park - July 17, 2011 (54 pictures)
Foraging in Inwood Park, Manhattan, New York, NY. Based on a tour given by "Wildman" Steve Brill. Except for the panorama, all pictures were taken with a 90mm equivalent macro lens. Hence all pictures are closeups. This time I used spot focusing and the ISO was set to 3200 to increase depth of field.

Prospect Park - December 2, 2023 (48 pictures)
Pictures taken with a Panasonic G9, with ISO set to 3200 to increase depth of field. Lens used was 24-70 equivalent.

There are 15 plants included, 13 of which were on the tour. Pictures taken with a Panasonic G9, with ISO set to 3200 to increase depth of field. Lens used was 24-70 equivalent.
