Military Orchid

Militiary Orchid, a rare and beautiful plant, photographed using a

1DsIII, 300mm 2.8L and a 2xII converter. It's the best way to

photograph plant portraits like these, forget macro lenses. The

background and foreground becomes beautifully out of focus, leaving

the eye to concentrate on the flower alone. Hope you like it, many

more in my portfolio.

Very nice work! Cheers!

Absolutely beautiful...

David, very good exposure,DOF and technique. Like it very much.

Very nice indeed!!! I agree with you about the technique. I took some mushroom photographs with 70-200mm/4L with very nice DOF.

Its even better if you use extension rings on the 70-200, you can get very close with fabulous background blur.

Great macro works, DOF and colors are wonderful, thanks

Elegante. Buena toma.

Very nice, the DoF and way you have composed the shot add to the visual. I like this

 

Best regards, Pamela

Simple and so good,I like dof control,best regsrds Radu.

David, I think this is wonderful. The asymmetrical placement of the orchid really works well and adds interest and elegance to the stunning beauty.

 

Simply perfect!
