Pictures taken quickly in my lunch break (the joys of living like 2 blocks from work!), so they're not the best. Let me know if anyone needs/wants additional pics of anything. I can go up to 2:1 macro if required.
Still trying to get some black velvet as a background; am making do with a black scarf as you can see! I'm currently experimenting with flashes (as I have 2 now); this seems to give a much more balanced light; generally, I generally hate flash photography, but there are times it comes in handy, and I'm finding myself too lazy to haul out a tripod of late! A "butterfly bracket" would be handy at times (not to mention a ring flash or macro flash).
Looks like the leaves have a pretty funky microstructure on the surface looking at this picture
Larger copies are available in my
Picasa album.
At some stage, a lot of the leaf tips have ended up sort of "burnt" looking, not sure why. An adventurous root is starting to venture out of the pot, so I guess this guy is getting repotted as soon as it's done flowering.
