.....these orchids kind of look like some cartoon (alien) character faces. Often times one can see something else in a common everyday object (ie. clouds, flowers, leaves, shadows/light, etc.). Just thought these were kind of interesting crops of the orchids I was shooting. Yes..I was bored and sunk to shooting a potted flower in the kitchen by flashlight for fun. What can I say? :dunno :wxwax I need to get out more often. :rofl

Cheers

O.K.....maybe it's just me and the pain killers I'm taking for knee surgery? I swear this next one looks familiar. :huh :rofl I think I've seen him hiding baskets with candy and eggs. :thumb

    I like them. Good use of your time to learn how light effects our light gathering devices thumb.gif
    I do like the more solid blue backgrounds better :D

    Now that last one also proves that modern medicine has either not gone far enough or way to far rolleyes1.gif. On the other hand you could move to Cali and fit right in rolleyes1.gifclap.gif :lol4

    Thanks Ben.......but you're going to have to face the facts. I'm lazy. rolleyes1.gif I wasn't going to drag the camera, tripod, lights etc. out to the front porch again. It was so much easier just to grab a flashlight and shoot the orchids on the kitchen table. You don't like the mini blind background? ne_nau.gif

    Thanks for looking.

    I like 'em!
    Nice twist on an often shot subject. I like the blinds as a background also. Pop one of those pain killers and suck down a couple of brews really fast and let us know what you see mwink.gif

    Oh boy..this is getting weird.

    Good ones and very creative response! Thanks for the chuckle clap.gif That multi-flamingo image might make a good bathroom wallpaper.

    Thanks.

    By the way....when were you in my bathroom? rolleyes1.gif **jk** I was thinking of using that image more along the lines of wrapping paper. You know..for those FOWL gifts :uhoh

    I love the orchid shots!

    Most of my flower pics are of potted plants taken in my dining room, I guess I need to get out more tooheadscratch.gif

    Thanks Nappalonia. I think next flower shoot will be at Home Depot. :D They must have a few dozen orchids in their garden center. I'm not usually the "flower shooting type". I think they are interesting subject matter.....but too much trouble to keep alive here in Flordia. Weeds are much easier to grow down here. :uhoh
