While at Lowes the other day picking up things for our garden I found these amazing blue orchids. I am a fan of orchids and always seem to kill them but I have learned a new secret from a friend to keep them alive. I decided maybe these orchids are the ones that will survive, so I’m trying.
This is an image of the bloom and buds on the end of the orchid stem. I kept turning myself, camera, and plan to ensure the bokah was strong and the tile produced a nice smooth tan in the back to not distract from the amazing color of these orchids. I took this image with my 105MM Macro on my Nikon D7000. I didn’t use any amazing lighting or anything, this was actually taken in the evening on the floor in my entryway.
