Sorry, i cant be of any help there, but boy, are they beautiful!
THANK YOU!!!! I use a Nikon D80 with 18-105 lens and 3.5-5.6f - I play with the manual settings alot and I'm getting a little more adept at iPhoto - but my main goal is always to represent the plant as accurately as possible. I actually do paint, and I use many of these photos as guidelines, so it's strangely apt you should pick up on that. I really do wish I could do justice to the burgundy, though after taking about 50 shots of it, I'm a little fatigued.....
