Now that is beautiful and the photography is great also. I guess I need to improve that with mine. I am just alittle lazy when I take photos of mine. I am just glad that I can take the photos....LOL

peter, your collection is simply stunning, as are the photographs.
would you mind sharing a little more about not only your growing conditions/methods, but also about the technical details of your photography? camera/lens/settings/etc?
thanks, and welcome!

Thanks all!
I am not really doing anything special! Growing the Cattleyas in my greenhouse, and try to keep an eye on every single plant to keep it in good condition. The big semi alba hybrids and the Classic species are my favourites.
I used my Canon digital pocket camera IXUS II s for all photos. No special lenses or anything like that!
Some photos turn out te be quite nice. Just lucky shots!
I really have NO IDEA about special light, effects, environments and so on!
Glad you all like it, MORE to come!
Peter
