Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve in San Mateo county provides a wealth of California native flowers and grasses in a serpentine environment. The weather March 28 proved perfect for getting out and about, so a friend and I took a 2-mile round trip stroll, shooting just about every flower we saw for 3 hours. My dissapointment: Instead of experimenting with a new lens set-up at home, I decided to do it here. I added a doubler to my 100-300mm telephoto. Turns out that the doubler doesn't seem to understand autofocus, so everything was manual focus--on a very long lens--with my hands a bit shaky--and no tripod. EVERYTHING turned out "soft" (a polite way of saying "blurry"). But still, most are at least identifiable, and I enjoyed the day and the flowers anyway. More resources for wildflowers: Calflora, Calphotos, and Steph's photos from the same hike.
