Paph Temptation

I purchased this Paph Temptation from Bill at Woodstream Orchids a few months ago and just wanted to share this beautiful orchid.

Beautiful! Is it as colourful as it seems? :clap:

 

[suzyquec]

Yes the photo is very accurate on color.

Lots of purple!!! Perhaps it is a royal temptation

Don't forget Lynn!

Beautiful.
I can see purple on the leaves, maybe some light source somewhere.

Like the others said, intense purple! Nice!

Can't be. There is a magenta cast to the photos. If your camera has a "white point' setting, it might help

The first 2 were taken with my iPhone the last with my Nikon so I used 2 different cameras and both show the same color.

LED lighting?

 

[Secundino]

Of course they do - the light source didn't change.
Look at the the shadows of the leaves in the first photograph - that is never an accurate colour.

The plant and blooms are purple!!! That is the color!!!! It is a purple st. Swithin!!!! Modern breeding!!!

Maybe the black backdrop is influencing the color. I have a photo from outside with no backdrop I'll post tomorrow.

The black background might influence the exposure, but not the color. That is either the lighting or camera issues. Photographing outdoors might be good -- that should be natural light. But be careful of direct sunlight.

Nice color!

Ill be interested to see the 'sunlight' photos. You can get the purple if the exposure is very underdone and software 'lightens' the image.

Here is one taken outside

Here is a photo from inside that I applied whitelight balance to

The only issue with both of these is that the purple is deeper than these photos

Very nice paph temptation!!

 

[SlipperFan]

These photos look much better. I'd like to see the plant in person to see where the purple is.
