Late winter and the first days of spring bring the annual orchid show to the Missouri Botanical Garden (home of Juno, seen in Monday's post). If I get there to take pictures it's usually on closing day, which is what happened a couple of weeks ago.
It's indoors, which makes for interesting light. There are windows high up over stone walls. So, soft illumination from above and dark foliage behind the flowers. Pop a little fill flash on the blossoms and you get dramatic results. These are a couple of my favorites. We'll show a few more.

Your latest have me 'seeing' sure signs of spring.
Wonderful shots Bob, perfect backlighting..can I ask which of your cameras you used here?
Beautiful!
Bob used his Canon EOS 5D Mark III. And he really nailed both photos. I know that because you can see that info at flickr.
These are beautiful, Bob, especially the second one.
Well aren't you and Wayne getting all in the mood for Spring!!!
