Wow Mike! Thoise close-ups are stupendous! Doncha just wish these digital cameras had 'stop down' metering? You did great working around it though.
Thanks Chris.....yeah, I wish it too...but it ain't too hard once you find the right f stop..... By the way.... I can't get over how your avatar keeps changing !! It makes me want to stop in every day to see what's coming next !!! Too cool.. :wink:
Palm Beach..at the Breakers...they always have lots of flowers sitting around inside.....in the morning, about 10 o'clock, walk in the front entrance and sit down on a couch by the windows....on the coffee table by the couch will be some gorgeous orchids (no wind) and plenty of available sunlight... :wink:
Beautiful photos Mike! What kind of Orchid are they? So Chris, I meant to ask before, what's the story behind this avatar?
They are a PHALAENOPSIS species I believe (don't claim to be an expert in the nomenclature)....thanks for your comments..
