In other words you know the degrees K of each light source for use in your image processing software? I think this would be a dramatic background and, if you don't mind, I may try it on one of mine. I have some bright green flocking that would be great for this purpose. Thanks for asking. I still like that blossom!  |
Yes, I had a soft light source between the flower and the background washing the inferior part of the background from the bottom. Now, I'm looking the photo on another monitor and the effect I wanted doesn't show the way I wanted, it's too dark, too blackish.
Ross, I don't mind, please try it and let us see what you get.

What about using some traditional Brazilian tapestry type fabrics for a background. . .something muted.
Got anything like that to try out? Hmmmm.

Beautiful!
Use a lower ISO if you want to reduce noise, shutter speed can be as slow as you need since plants don't move about :P (though you'll need a tripod for this)

Mauro,
This one seems to have less 'substance' (I don't if this word is correct in english) than the first one ( http://www.orchidboard.com/community...-estriata.html) but has better shape in petals/sepals. The first has 'Milionária' as parent/grandparent?
Are you going to CPO Orchid Show 23-25/november in the Botanic Garden? |

Nope! LP Milionaria imparts a very recognizable shape to the lip, often with a narrow, beautiful white border. Here's how it looks like:

Yes, I am planning to go to the CPO show, probably Friday morning.

Well, unfortunately I can go only saturday or sunday; maybe in another show we can schedule an meeting! (AOSP summer show 30-nov to 02- dec?)
About the 'Milionária', I never saw this one, except in pics; but I read about it! I went to Porto Alegre in october, and I bought some seedlings of LP, that have been sold as 'Milionária' crosses! Now I know what I can expect!
