Some of our orchids are blooming and I want to share them with fellow Hogs. All shots were taken using my Nikon P900. The first two were taken at f/8 using daylight flood lighting. The third was taken using auto flash.
Beautiful shots. Orchids are not easy to photograph!
Really like 1 and 3. What is that black stick in No. 1?
If correct this orchid had been in bloom at Christmas the last two or maybe three years. I thought this past was going to be another but it just seemed to be in slow mode. The stalks grew longer and twisted with fewer blooms than usual. Finally, during the somewhat boring Pro Bowl I woke up on the couch and saw that the first blooms were opening. Removed some clutter and threw this together to see what turned out.
Same orchid this week, was hoping to pull in the miscanthus grass behind the window, but didn't like power lines and cars on street.
