Hi Stuart – I think this is my favorite – flower fully sharp, background blurry – and I haven’t seen this one. Are you using a compact camera or SLR? Its so hard with orchids to get the depth of field just right – and more difficult to fully blur the background using a compact. Keep up the good work. Chris
Hey Chris, im just using a digital 4 mega pixels 38-380mm lense, yeah to get the background out of focus and blurry took a couple of trys, i agree with you it is really hard to get orchid shots just right. Thanks for adding this shot to your favorites.
Oh…..what a beautiful orchid! And a fabulous shot. Thank you Stuart, for showing me the beautiful native orchids of WA…it’s been a joy for an orchid lover like me!
One of my favourite little Orchids of this region! Lived in Albany, WA for several years and would often see this in the bush around Emu Point. Beautiful capture, Stuart.
