Orchid gift

I recently received this orchid as a gift and immediately did an indoor photo shoot. What a fun afternoon I had taking many photos! My first experience photographing orchids.

I set the plant on a bay window with black felt behind it. There was a picture window to the right providing lighting plus room lighting and lighting from the top of the bay window. I also did some pictures with a white background--more high key--and some with off-camera flash. I may post some of these others at a later point.

Canon Rebel T1i. 180mm macro lens. F/18 for 1 sec. ISO 100. Tripod mounted, natural lighting.
