I agree with Dave. For outdoors images (macro) I depend on photo reflectors and diffusers. For the studio I use cold florescent macro lights. Did use hot lights for many years but they have no advantage over high powered "full-spectrum" CF or dedicated macro CF bulbs in photo fixtures on stands. Don't need to use special filters either. Only photographers that I know who use and like ring lights are dentists and those that shoot flat objects like coins and stamps.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
