Just a side note. In Salem, Oregon there is a digital photography club that meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7 pm in the meeting hall near McDonald's on South Commercial.

The correct spelling for the place is "Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge." I forgot the second "t."

This post includes a few pictures that I took on a hike yesterday at Basket Slough near Dallas, Oregon. It was a nice sunny day. The flower is commonly called Camas Lily---it was a staple in the diet of the Native Indians of the Northwest. Basket Slough is a National Wildlife Refuge that winters many varieties of waterfowl as well as a number of other kinds of birds. There are also many varieties of wildflowers that bloom in the spring that are native to the area.

These are some of my first tries at taking close-ups using extension tubes with my DSLR camera and a smartphone for one picture.

Thank you for the correction as I have also been making the same mistake.

These pictures are of a variety of ducks and geese taken with a 55-250mm lens with a Canon T3i camera on Friday, 3-29-19, at Timber Linn Park in Albany, Oregon. (Some ducks I could not readily identify---any help identifying is appreciated.)

These photos are of Roosevelt elk, including an albino, taken the afternoon of Wednesday, March 27, 2019, at the Jewell Meadows Game Reserve near Jewell, Oregon. These were taken using a Canon T3i camera with three different lenses both handheld and with a tripod. The lenses included Canon kit lenses 18-55mm and 55-250mm, as well as a Canon 75-300mm lens. A 2x Kenko Teleplus Tele-Extender was used with the 75-300mm lens.

I use a Kenko 2x Teleplus extender and have had good results with a Canon 75-300mm lens on a Canon T3i camera. While I would like to have a better lens this is my stop gap solution until I can somehow save enough for. one of the desired lenses. Kenko makes some very decent tele extenders, and at a cost of less than $100 I found it to be an acceptable alternative, especially being on a limited budget.
