Still here in S Miami.....nice luxury they have here is stands by the side of the road where they sell orchids.....2 for $20.......so decided to buy my sister in law a few......of course after I got done using them! I actually went back for this lady slipper variety.....not sure what type. I ended up 2010 doing macro......so just wishing you all a great New Year photographically and stay healthy and here's to productive 2011!!
Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 180mm macro and the MT24 twin lights outside.....natural light 1/100 sec. at f16 and ISO 800 and the flash at minus 2/3 tripod mounted as I was holding silver reflector on RH side. If it wasn't so windy......would have went to f29!:D
Looks like you ended 2010 on a very good note! Lovely angle, comp and colors. It seems a little dark to me but I'm thinking that's the intensity of the colors that occur naturally on this variety? Really nice DOF - I think that's the hardest part of photographing orchids - they send out pieces in every direction!
Hey Roman, this is a nice one to end the year on! Colors look great and the DOF looks pretty good although there are a few areas towards the edges that look a bit soft....I was surprised to see this was shot at only f16 but then I read the part about the wind and it made sense. The center seems just a touch too bright, IMHO.
Happy New Year to you, too!
Thanks for the wish for a healthy 2011 but again I'm off to a bad start. It seems that my new holiday tradition is to get the stomach flu on New Year's Eve....the exact same thing happened last year at almost exactly the same time! :(
