Hello lasses and lads!

I am Tolis and I live in Greece. I won't bore you with my job . I practice landscape photography but I am trying to improve in other genres of it. Well, not people photography, I don't do well with most of those . Hopefully, I'll get to do some orchid photoshoots sooner than later.

As you can imagine, I spend lots of time sitting at my desk, editing photographs when not shooting. I started growing plants to introduce some greenery to it. Then my mother bought a few super-market noid phals that she almost killed. I fancied the challenge of saving them so I took care of them with the intention of giving them back when brought back to health. Little did I know that I'd get hooked .

I now own lots of noid phals and a couple that I bought from a nursery in Greece. One is a Mini Mark in bark and the other is a Sogo Yellowtris in sphagnum moss. It's funny though. It felt so easy to experiment on the noid phals I have but I can't do it when it comes to the latter two.

Anyway, that's already too long for an introduction. I will be using the search function to learn as much as I can. You should be expecting questions about the one potted in sphagnum but probably not limited to that!

Welcome to orchidboard!!!

I made a similar journey in the opposite direction (but am neither pro grower nor pro photographer). Started with a couple orchids, took some photos with my old point and shoot. Fell in love with orchid photography and bought a better point and shoot. Still wasn't satisfied so got a DSLR. Then a lightroom subscription. Then discovered the wider world of photography and got even more gear!

Oh gear, can get you broke fast! I have a full frame mirrorless camera and a wide zoom lens which are not the limiting factor of my photography as of now Hopefully I can resist the "need" to buy a 100mm macro. I don't see that happening though
