Index for Album F-2011-07-17: Foraging in Inwood Park - July 17, 2011

Foraging in Inwood Park, Manhattan, New York, NY. Based on a tour given by "Wildman" Steve Brill. Except for the panorama all pictures were taken with a 90mm equivalent macro lens. Hence all pictures are closeups. This time I used spot focusing and the ISO was set to 3200 to increase depth of field.
