First Blooms

[Grimm]

Here are my first 4 orchid blooms so far. I have a ton of other species, so I'll be adding to this thread as I get more down the road.

Everything was shot using my Canon Rebel xti, reverse mounted 18-55mm stock lens (super closeups), and 100mm macro lens for full flower shots. Pics range from 4-10 shots stacked, all using CombineZM (free stacking program), and so far have been shot using my homemade lightbox.

Cirrhopetalum Pulchellum




Leptotes Bicolor




Masdevallia Floribunda


Phalaenopsis Parishii


Used the reverse 18-55mm for this shot, and only a single exposure. Not very happy with the original photo quality and detail. Must have been some vibrations during the long exposure, and ALL the sensor dust was visible. Needed a lot of tlc in Lightroom to make it post acceptable lol
