I would ask the purpose of the images ? If you are looking for "artistic" type shots then you can live with a wider aperture ( 5.6-8 ) and natural/softer lighting and more freedom overall. If you are looking for "record" type shots, showing the absolute most detail, then a more straight foward composing with smaller aperture ( 11-16 ) and supplemental lighting would be tolerated.

No one mentioned that, but I will look into it. Sounds like a great idea.

Has anyone mentioned photo stacking? As I understand it, it is relatively easy to take multiple shots of the same image at different focal lengths then use the stacking feature in Photoshop.

Use a flash and a zoom lens. The more you zoom the better DOF you get. Crank down the aperture F/16 to F/22. You won't be able to get the entire cluster in focus if you photographing one plant at a time. If you photograph a whole display standing back the depth will look better
Agree. The more you zoom in the shallower DOF gets and the shot looks more appealing, more artistic. Well, to me.

I'm sure you know this just a friendly reminder - get a shot with the orchid name tag.
I really like portraits you shot. Good luck this weekend!
