I’m a self taught photographer who enjoys macro photography, especially wildflowers and other flora and fauna seen in nature. I also enjoy photographing refractions and reflections from rain, water and mirrors. I use a Canon T2i with a Canon 100mm 2.8 IS USM lens. I almost always use a tripod, too. I really enjoy viewing the wonderful photos that I have seen on redbubble!

I’d say that is an excellent attempt! How did you manage the perfectly white backgound? I think I like the orchids best this way i.e. instead of with a black background.
Glad you like it Bette, thanks so much. I did this by placing the orchid in front of a window which had been shielded by a piece of translucent white plastic, It was a cloudy but a light winter’s day. I tried numerous exposures…didn’t like the ones that were way overexposed, nor the ones perfectly exposed.
