That is an incredible red and a wonderful photo, Ed. How did you manage to get that red so spot-on?

Pretty cool picture. Really nice clicking.
I like this. So cute and lovely, Attractive colour and shape. Very nice flower and one of the my favourite one.

Very beautiful orchids! Why at you one album and in it only five photos? We wait still for albums and photos!

Hi Marci, how are you?

This photo is perhaps one of the easiest I've ever taken. The photo was taken in my greenhouse under natural afternoon light with my camera on full automatic. (I usually start out each photo session with one shot on full automatic.) My camera is an Olympus SP-565-UZ. I use black velveteen to provide a featureless backdrop.

Thanks for the tips, Ed. Your photos rock!
