Some people had requested a different colored background for these orchids. I took it in my bath room against the colored walls. The wall color didn't come out quite true but with some color correction it's close.

Ahhh, yes! This background is much, much better. THANK YOU. These are now downloaded into my "Orchids" file.

its a very pretty picture. how many times did you photograph these flowers before you got what you wanted? i like them in white or yellow light weren't the originals in yellow light? the background is great.

I answered Mike through PM but when I see questions on other peoples pics I wish I could see the answer too so I'm posting my answer here as well. I photographed these orchids against this background around 45 times in approximately 4 different poses/angles. I'll shoot the same photo over and over again, using different fstops and different exposure compensations, that way when I go to postprocessing, I'm bound to have one that's usable.

Lighting is relatively the same. I say relatively because they are the same lights that I used for the other one, just positioned differently since my bathroom quickly became cramped. I had two umbrellas on other shot. This one I was only able to use one.

heheh i can imagine you squished up with all your stuff in your bathroom (if your bathroom is anything like mine theres not enough room to swing a cat, let alone have unbrellas and lights!) lol I like this one, the blue is nice and you can see the flower better

Had to refer to your gallery to see the background in prior posts. Think you made a good choice here with the blue. Shows these wild looking beauties off better I think. Gotta love digital ... take enough shots and odds are you'll come up with a winner ... AND YOU DID!

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
