Blue Orchid Bud

While at Lowes the other day picking up things for our garden I found these amazing blue orchids.  I am a fan of orchids and always seem to kill them but I have learned a new secret from a friend to keep them alive.  I decided maybe these orchids are the ones that will survive, so I’m trying.

This is an image of the bloom and buds on the end of the orchid stem.  I kept turning myself, camera, and plan to ensure the bokah was strong and the tile produced a nice smooth tan in the back to not distract from the amazing color of these orchids.  I took this image with my 105MM Macro on my Nikon D7000.  I didn’t use any amazing lighting or anything, this was actually taken in the evening on the floor in my entryway.

I am a developer at heart, now I manage a dev and design team for an online marketing research Institute. In 2007 I completed my MBA and since then I have been trying to find something new to study and soon landed on photography. I have no formal training though I spend time picking the brains of my friends and trying to get them to teach me more. I have started reading and hope to share my experiences through my photographical journey.
