Life size and larger orchid photographs
Attached a few macro images from specimens in my terrarium. All shots with Canon 5DmkII and illuminated with Canon MX24 twin head flash with puff diffusers. Various adjustments with flash exposure compensation and power balance between the two flash heads plus azimuth and incident angle of flash heads. Images captured in RAW neutral, some steepening of curves (and color adjustments) in Lab color space, select unsharp mask in L-channel to avoid color artifacts, saved in RGB.
