My best photos of Dendrobium fairchildae
For some reason it is the simplest blooms that I find more difficult to photograph. One of them is this species; somehow I can rarely capture the delicate white blooms that gradually become pink-purple at the tips.
It is also one of my favorite dends. The long thin leafless stalks with a few blooms convey sparseness and elegance, like a haiku.
Do you prefer natural light, or studio light?

Wow all of the shots a wonderful. Mother Nature knows the best lighting for her babies although the studio shots a stunning. I think that the natural ones are my favorite.
Love the referance to the Haiku, perhaps one could be written with your description. HMMMMM

Perched among the jungle leaves
Long, elegant egret legs
Crystaline white feathers glow
Blushed by morning's light

I think that the outdoor pics actually give a delicate crystalline airy quality to the blooms. The studio pics have a definite haiku quality.
Diane, Love your haiku.

I love it, too.
Somehow creative work like that has not been one of my strong points.

Yours is a rather non-standard form, Diane, but lovely in sentiment.
White. Pure with a blush.
Reaching in supplication.
Assumed innocence.

Yours is lovely too.. supplication and innocence...
Actually - in Japan now there is no "standard" like the old 5/7 or whatever it was - it's the sentiment and expression that counts... Guess they ran out of things to say using the base form... Anyway, I was never that much of a conformist... LOL

It's funny they've relaxed the rules over there. Traditional teaching is still quite fussy. 5-7-5 is the most common form, that is, in Haiku, the first line is five syllables, the second line is seven and the third line is five again. but the third line expresses a different thought from the first two, related, but from a different perspective, and the subjects are usually of nature, etc, etc.
If anyone is interested, check out the book, If Not for the Cat by Jack Prelutsky. The watercolors are amazing and the verse is brilliant - it's one of my favorites!
