I picked this guy up from Norito at our Aug workshop -08
Alittle too dark but you can see how flat the dorsal is.

I always thought a "flat dorsal" meant that the dorsal did not hang over the pouch but stood straight (er) up. Learn something every day.

Colouration and shape of this bloom are very impressive and you must have spent a fortune for the gold dust on it. :wink:

Oh gully geez
It wasn't easy slipping my wife's jewelry out of the house to grind it up but it was worth it, to get this shot!:evil:No really, this is some of my handy "lighting work" to get this shot. I probably couldn't do it again if I tried!

So that is why you got low lighting...

Are you using gold foil to bounce light into the flower?

No Dot, I didn't use any foil or any bounceing, at least not on purpose.

So how did you get the gold color? Is the flower actually a gold color?

Dot,
Someone suggested I use supplimental lighting if I had to shot at night. I used 2 spotlights, incandescent, and a desk lamp with one of those new coiled fluorscent bulbs in it. Combination of light and camera settings must of given the appearence of gold. I'm sure I won't be able to repeat it,LOL!
The flower, itself, is vini but the center of the petals were the warts are, is faint greenish/yellow, almost transparent. The side shot shows this well.

Thanks, Rick. I suspect it's the incandescent bulb that gave the gold color. Neat effect!
