Orchids
Nov 14, 2017 23:04:56 #
After seeing all the beautiful Orchids in Bali we decided to get some for our lounge room...only imitations but I think they look pretty good. If nothing else, they won't die on us... 
I'd like an opinion on these four shots, I'm thinking of printing one A3 size and framing it...the first shot was at 1/25 second, hand held and the other three were shot at 1/15, hand held. The last three are also the same shot just with slightly different lighting done in PP...
All other settings are the same for each shot...

Nikkor 18-140 lens

Hand held
F5.1
ISO 100

They're all beautiful, Ron, but if I had to vote, it would be the last one.

Ron, they look real to me and for sure any one of them would look great on the wall.
Sad to say, I bought us some gorgeous orchids last year and like yourself having live orchids only last for a limited time before they are dead. We killed ours off within 2 to 4 months. Greg

This is a fine set Ron but my vote would be for the last. I like the lighting in that one best.

Ron, I agree that number 4 is the best to print. It seems to be the brightest and printing tends to darken images so brighter is good. It seems to be nice and sharp too. Good job on hand holding. It it a very realistic orchid and you're not likely to kill it!

Ditto to Earl's comment. I never would have known that these were not growing had you not said so, Ron.

Thanks Guys, yes, I printed the last one and it's now hanging in our dining room...

I agree with Earl, Ron! I would never guess the plant wasn't real. I would be beautiful framed!
