Description
While making my rounds at the local orchid show, I found this very nondescript orchid and noticed that this was no ordinary set of flowers when examined up close. I returned the following day when the exhibit was open to photographers. I used the Nikon Creative Lighting system with the flashes set on TTL to bring out the shiny texture and the hairs on the flowers. Tripods were allowed and I took full advantage to capture a series of images for stacking. Because the 200mm f4 Micro is an old school lens, focusing was done manually for the series of images.
Specific Feedback
What do you think of this comp? I gave a little extra room on the bottom for implying gravity. Thank you for looking…
