9/21/06 - Orchid

Happy fall (if you're in the northern hemisphere).
Just an ordinary picture of a beautiful flower. The Costco orchid is back in bloom - first flower, plus two buds. Put a piece of black paper behind it for a background.
First shot with the 105 macro in a while; gotten spoiled with the 75-300 with a close up lens allowing me to zoom with the lens instead of with my feet moving the tripod.
Off to Acadia National Park for a week. Hoping for lots of fog (after we get there; not enroute) and beautiful scenery.

Nikon D70s
1/6s f/11.0 at 105.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very delicate and beautiful. Love the light on petals, very tender. Vote

This is a beautiful image Ed. Funny that you and I had a similar idea, for my PAD yesterday I had an Ikea Orchid, with black felt hanging on the back of a chair... I love the lighting on yours.
