You're correct with the name, the white one is "Calochortus superbus (Superb mariposa lily)" and the first one is "Calochortus luteus Yellow...
Backgrounds are always nicer when they have a good bokeh effect and separation from the main subject. I've been lucky to get this using my Tamron...
Yeah, the Pelicans leave a lot of poofiti on stationary objects. Easy fix with the Photoshop Power Washer (Content Aware Fill) :)
Great series Sundar! Plenty of action - well captured. I like the "Heads down - Bums up" shot!
Striking colours Tony. Nice and large in the frame.
Excellent shot and well presented. Lovely DOF showing all the intricacies of the flower. Looks like a poppy - do you know what it is?
Great timing Sundar. Good sharp action shot and well framed. PS. Did you leave leave your poopa scoopa home? :)
Oh well, I don't have any other suggestions, sorry. It has always bugged me why Canon don't want shutter counts available and others like Nikon...
That's a bit odd because APT shows the 80D on its list of compatible cameras. Sorry it did not work for you. Did your camera show up as "plugged"...

Vibrant reflected colours in the water as well as on the Australasian Shoveler. [ATTACH]
Lovely shot Sundar. They are all being very obedient.

This fella was just lurking about in our local fun park. I have 2 programmed settings, One for spot metering and the other for Evaluative and this...
I took a crow shot today and it came out rather well with 1/500th, f:9, ISO 1600. (I'll post in a new thread). I only ever shoot manual except for...
You're welcome Tony. I have the 7Dii also. I was going to get that lens but after a few reviews about lacking sharpness I canned the idea. I went...
I have always been able to get the shutter count using Astro Photography Tool HERE. It's a trial version that never expires. Just download and...
Pretty good effort with such a dark bird. Not easy at best of times. I find metering for the bird will get better exposure on those dark feathers....
