Callaway Gardens

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Georgia Nature Photographer’s Association Photo Expo this past weekend at Callaway Gardens.  It was my first trip to Callaway and gave me a great opportunity to start using my newly acquired Canon 50D.  This photo was taken on Sunday morning a the Butterfly House with guest speaker, Nancy Rotenberg.  WOW what a wonderful treat to be able to listen and be taught by Nancy!  I returned physically and mentally exhausted but really had a great time.   Shout out to Jo who received an honorable mention for her Taos lightening photo!  Way to go, Jo!  Thanks for encouraging me to go along as well!  We had a great time talking about photography into the wee hours.

Canon EOS 50D ( hand held), F5.66, lens focal length 135mm, exposure time 1/200 second(s), shutter speed 0.0051 second(s).
