Inside the Mouth of the Orchid

Powell Gardens, KC, Mo

I ATTENDED THE POWELL GARDENS ORCHID SHOW TODAY. IT
CAUSES ME TO GET OUT THE MACRO LENS (THAT GETS USED
VERY INFREQUENTLY) AND LEARN HOW TO USE IT AGAIN..
I THROW AWAY 5 IMAGES FOR EVERY ONE THAT I LIKE. THE
ISSUE IS ALMOST ALWAYS FOCUS & DOF. I SLOWED THE SHUTTER
SPEED WHICH GAVE ME MORE DOF, AND THE RESULT WAS GOOD.

THIS IMAGE IS THE BEST OF THE DAY AS IT LOOKS TO ME
LIKE I AM ACTUALLY INSIDE THE ORCHID LOOKING AT THE
INNER PARTS. HOPE YOU LIKE IT TOO..

Nikon D300 ,Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
1/15s f/9.5 at 105.0mm iso560 full exif

Very nice macro shot Tom. Don't feel bad, most of us probably throw away 80%+ of our shots.
