Starting a general Photography hints thread

[Nico]

Thanks for the thred!

I'll try to explain in my poor English what I think about photographing orchids.

Orchids are not easy to photograph... I mean is difficult to take an artistic photo. I prefer a simple composition and orchids are full of flower sometimes. I try to catch the right angle, but I don't succeed everytime.

I don't like to use the flash, generally. When I use it a big roblem is the reflection... or I have to set right the intensity, not to 'burn' the image (supra expose).

Macro with orchids... well... also difficult. I like just one macro of mine.

What I whant to express with my pictures, or in my pictures: the orchids are not just beautiful flowers, many are, but they are delicate, they seem to look back at you and they are mysterious. And I am not impressed only by flowers, but the spike that holds them is wonderful too.


Sorry for my English!

I see you are quite advanced in photography.

Maybe in the artistic part, but tehnical part...
