Re: PESO: Orchid

Hum, interesting. I'm no expert on orchids, and don't know how much variety is allowed among varieties. But based on shapes your first example is closer to mine, and based on color the second is. There's enough difference between all three to be three different varieties, or they could just

I think the longer lens would have produced better defined separation between the subject and the background. Boris Toine wrote: Two more shots from the same island, Terschelling. This time two different orchids from the same species. http://leende.net/galleries/Terschelling%202007/6405.htm

Re: peso: Orchid

If you keep the flowers at the same size in the frame, the longer lens will give you a bigger working distance, and less FOV of the background (which might help in case you have a distracting backgroung), however not less DOF, which I assume is what you were referring too. On Saturday 26 May

No, not less DOF. I was referring to more (and better) blurre background, which in a sense is a less DOF, but I kind of disliked the bokeh on Toine's pictures... Boris dFrits Wüthrich wrote: If you keep the flowers at the same size in the frame, the longer lens will give you a bigger

Re: PESO - orchid rude bits

Nice shot David- if I could get in any closer though, I'd go for the tip with the 'prongs' and the curled 'leaf' bit. Just trying my luck, I removed '2' from the image name; that one was pretty good too. I try to reinterpret it though, removed a speck from a petal and shifted the black point
