Pinar’s Orchid

While Pınar is away in Europe this summer, I’ve been keeping watch over her orchids. They’ve dealt with a drive up to Portland and my unpracticed efforts to care for them and reciprocated with a flower. A flower! I think it’s the first time I’ve ever had a plant that flowered under my care.

This photo was shot with my Canon G9 in Macro mode at ISO 200. The light is mid-morning indirect light through the big windows in my living room. It's a really simple lighting setup that works well for this kind of subject.

This is one of 188 blog posts on duncandavidson.com. If you care to read more, two posts I recommend are Dear Speakers, a set of thoughts for public speakers that I pulled together in March, 2009 and Tilting at the Windmill, One Last Time, a call to Flickr to include important EXIF and ITPC metadata in the photographs they provide to the public.

Isn't it amazing when a plant prospers under your care? I've only occasionally tried to keep plants happy, but recently I've had a special place in my heart for a basil plant. I've to admit I'm a sucker for the italian cuisine, in which basil is important, so I'm trying to stay self sufficient. :-)
