    Default New studio lights for orchid photography

    I still have a lot to learn about taking pictures of orchids but these new studio lights with umbrella diffusers have really helped. I never got the right colors with a flash and shadows were always a problem with a single light source. Now I just wish I could buy some talent. Sorry about the quality of these pictures. I just took a couple quick shots and didn't check them before dimanteling the lights.

    Looks like an impressive set-up for photographing your orchids. I wish I had those light diffusers for use in photography. I look forward to seeing how your photography improves with these awesome new lights.

    Thanks, Bruce. I'm still struggling in my efforts to get good photographs. I've been going over some of the threads and articles on this forum in hopes of improving.

    Wow!!!!!!!, you cant be accused of approaching your new venture with half measures. How about some models with those orchids. Tap those florida chicks Cathy, Connie and Pat. A whole new charity fundraiser in the making here.!, but youll have to tell them to behave themselves, some blooms only last a day!
