Orchids?

**Simon** · 20th Aug 2006, 22:39

thought I try something different, but after photographing them, realised I shouldn't be doing in at night. My mom just acquire a few pots of wild orchids, but the only acceptible pics is from a hybrid strain. will try again, but I think should consider a light box for better illumination

apology if the pic is under, my laptop lcd isn't calibrated

I think you WB is utterly screwed.

**ranmasatome** · 20th Aug 2006, 22:50

thats probably why background is brown brown and flower is yellowish?

**Simon** · 20th Aug 2006, 23:04

nope, I didn't use the same transparency settings for both, the background is indeed brown and the petal is yellowish, the first pix is correct, I overdid the 2nd ;P

well at least one of the WB is off since the two got different colours. why is it shutterspeed at 10s and flash was fired?

**Simon** · 20th Aug 2006, 23:25

both taken at different angles, so my guess is the bulb might have screw up the WB, as for the flash ;P, didn't off it

**Simon** · 20th Aug 2006, 23:46

I just adjust the WB

let me know if the WB is still off, or else, I will just do a reshoot

this is much better, although it might be better if you bring it downstairs, set it 5ft in front of a bush and reshoot.

you should get those WB cards
