Chicorium

[elsid]

In mid July I visited a mountain (Oiti) about 260 kms from Athens. The goal was to photograph butterflies and wild flowers (mainly). Here I post 9 pictures of the same flower (different plants)
taken at different times during the day, at different locations on the mountain. The first 3 with Df and 60mm G micro. The rest D500+TC-14E III+300mm PF.

Apparently Cichorium intybus can be captured with a variety of lenses, short or long. interesting that the 300 PF can do this well.

Hello Bjorn, I find that the 300 PF is a good match to the D500 giving very good results.
By the way, I bought 2 books last week. "The wild flowers of Greece" and "The wild flowers of Crete". There is overlapping but I think I should know, where it is possible, the names of the flowers I shoot. Will the trip to Crete materialize next April?

I am very much so looking forward to Crete next April!

That makes two of us Jakov.

"Will the trip to Crete materialize next April?"

It is on the planned list of NG Events, yes. Probably a bit early to do the location and accommodation research yet, but don't procrastinate.

Once there is a time table and some kind of plans for where to stay, including a price estimate, the official announcement can be made for NG members to sign up. I usually book air flights at least 3 months in advance to get a fair price, so getting the date(s) is very important.
