More Floriade

Can I put 2 large photos in 1 post?

This should be some fruit bats (one called Eric?) and a flower closeup.

And yes I can.  These are converted directly out of photoshop with only the bat photo mildly edited and cropped but the flower is a straight raw->jpeg conversion.  With having to overexpose to capture the dark bats the sky was a bit glary (is that a word?) so I brought it back a bit and with only a 200mm zoom and the bats 20 or 30 m up a tree the photo was too busy without some cropping.

2nd Field Trip - Floriade

And here is Sean taking some photos of flowers:
