orchid macro

Posted by Jeff (Honolulu, United States) on 5 September 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Here's a close-up photo of a new orchid I bought this weekend. With the use of two extension tubes, my camera lens was actually touching the flower in order to get this shot in focus (just barely).

ISO 200, 1/8, f/4.0, e.c. 0, 40mm of 17-40mm with 12mm and 20mm extension tubes

This site is the sister of "Aloha Photo" which is a much more extensive photo site and can be viewed at http://alohaphoto.my-expressions.com/index.html. Often images are posted in both places, but aloha photo has been in operation since 2004, so it has many more photographs. If you are interested in Hawaii please feel free to visit my other photoblog.
