The dahlia set is the best for me.

Trying out IBIS: High Definition for astro in Black and White. The horizon was horrible for a couple reasons: wildfire smoke and over 100°F (38°C) at least it cooled down from 112° F (44°C).

Hi Cemal,

There were some absolutely stunning flowers * on display where we visited on Saturday - but as we'd ridden there on our cycles, I had the RF 16mm (Phil 'always the wrong lens' Moore) and Karen had our misbehaving Sony RX100 IV. I think we still got some decent shots, but I haven't got to view them yet.

(* If I knew the names of any of them I'd tell you, but my knowledge of flowers is, basically, similar to my knowledge of birds - and everything else. There were quite a few Dahlias though - I think! ).

What I use is Google Lens. Upload a picture and it will find matches, albeit it may take some doing.
I searched using a photo of mine of a couple bees on a Dahlia (variety called "Pooh") We live a couple miles from Swan Island Dahlias.

My second photo is of a Spotted Towhee.

Hi Dean,

Very useful - I'll look into that for sure.

If it's of any use to anyone, we use the 'Merlin Bird ID' app by Cornell University for instant bird identification from their sound/ or from their features.
