Orchids
Windowsill Orchid
I have a pretty extensive houseplant collection. It makes the house feel very alive to me. After summering outside, I bring them back into the house when frost look imminent. The cooler temperatures many times trigger a bloom spike on my orchids. Here is one called Zygopetalum maculatum. It has a wonderful scent, reminiscent of hyacinths. I bought this at Trader Joe's a few years ago! For these photographs, this was the set up:
Nikon D800E camera; Zeiss Makro-Planar 100 mm macro lens; 8 images (8 sec exposure, f/11, existing light, white paper backdrop) stacked in Helicon Focus software.
