FOTD – April 11 – LAVENDER ORCHIDS MACROS & MORE
The orchids looked beautiful. It wasn’t sunny, but it was brighter than yester and the sun coming in from behind them in the morning made them glow. I took a bunch of macros, and then changed lenses and moved out and took some wider shots.
MACROS


WIDE AND WIDER



I’ve started taking the card out of one camera and moving it to the next so I don’t have to pull three cards from the different cameras. I suppose I could, instead, change lenses, but I find moving cards easier.. Besides, I like having each camera set up for its assigned task and I don’t have to open up the camera as often. This house is dusty and the cameras don’t need all that dust and pollen.
Bad enough trying to breathe through this season.
Cee, please pardon me for making the logo. The flowers were so pretty, I couldn’t help myself. You are welcome to it if you like it.

I hope so. The flowers are so pretty, but I didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. Also, I sometimes get tired of the same logo all the time. Those flowers have such an amazing color.

That’s often why I do my own. Nobody’s complained ue, but if it is a problem, I will respect their opinions.

Thank you Cee. They were even prettier today with the sun behind them.

It takes tiny writing, but you can always label them — birds, orchids, by date, etc.

I reuse cards, so they are in constant circulation between cameras. I back up all my photographs at the end of every month and reformat many cards if they have been used a lot. Do other people only use cards once? That would be kind of expensive, wouldn’t it?

Thank you. The heart of orchids is really interesting. Each has it’s own colors and designs. It’s no wonder these flowers are so popular.

How beautiful they are! And I like your idea of moving SD Cards from one camera to another, rather than continually changing lenses!

I just started doing that a couple of weeks ago. It occurred to me that I could put ALL the day’s pictures on one card. The only problem is remembering which card is which since they all look alike 😊👌
