Just ran across these bud. Congratulations. Very pretty. I love white. Diaphanous whites to be sure. Very lovely. Wish I were closer. I'd shoot this with my 8x10 in black and white. Give you a nice print.

Use film. Use decent lighting. Use a medium format camera if you can rent or have a friend who has one. If not a 105mm lens on a 35mm will work wonders. I'm drooling because of the subject matter. I am a photographer. I shoot large format cameras and use film. I have my own darkroom and flowers are my favorite subject matter. Wish I still had a website. You can go to usefilm.com and find my portfolio under james mickelson. It's just a small one but that's what I do. I don't print on a pc and printer. Film and silver paper are my tools.

Sorry, James....I am not a photographer. I dont know how to use film. I can take black and white photos with my digital cam and I use an SD card that I load to photoshop to crop it and size it....your methods of photography is too ambitious for me....I am just a dabbler and started photographing my orchids from an iPhone....a digital cam is one little step to archiving my plants....a black and white film processed in a photolab is way out of my league

to do BW in digital better shoot raw and then turn it in BW in post rather than relying to a camera's pre cooked algorhytm.

Huh!!?? Just kidding. I don't shoot digital except to show my orchids here. Digital is way way beyond my skills. I used to try and scan my film to digital and then print from files. I gave up. All you younger folks are so much better at this than old fogeys like me. For color I think digital platform was made for it. Nothing beats a good digital color print. But I digress.
