10/12/06 - Orchids Three

Took this as an illustrative photo (before/after) for a camera club talk. Decided to kill two birds with one stone so - here's today's PAD image.
As it came from the camera. Created the black background by placing a black posterboard down among the stems & leaves. WIthout it there were some distracting lighter colored elements among the stems, roots & leaves.

Nikon D70s
1/5s f/16.0 at 105.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Regarding the lighting, I should have noted that it's natural light (sunroom with skylights) augmented by a gold reflecting disk pointed up from a few inches below the flowers.

Ed, this is very well lit with the black background! My black cloth and board are right beside me! -BJ
