Green Orchid Flower Stalk

A decent photo of my green orchid flower. I now realize I should've turned off the ceiling fan to get a crisp image. And I did use the speedlight. Need practice.

Orchid Bloom in Black and White

Can't have too many photos of orchids! Here is a lovely black and white variation of my favorite flower, shot with the 40mm. And soon there will a new bloom to admire...

Full Bloom Orchid

The orchid stalk fully bloomed. 40mm stm lens, used a bounced flash to keep iso low.

Orchid bloom 2015

The first bloom of 2015; I think I got this orchid about 3 years ago. The other two I got later have not rebloomed.

You can see the foliage of one of the non bloomers in the background.

A New Orchid

I bought a new orchid @ Trader Joe's. It was difficult to choose ONE, the store in Redding had so many lovely orchids to pick from. I now have two orchids, so it's the beginning of a small collection.  ;)

Oh Orchid of Mine

A year or so ago I bought myself a beautiful orchid; and tho I have taken photos of these flowers, this is the first one I love. I used Lightroom 4's light vignette, which is really appropriate for this. Also I put the plant in my bathtub so it had a nice neutral surround.
