Finally, I have uploaded a few of my macros photos of orchids that I have been nurturing about the house. In addition to my male fauna pictures, I enjoy macro photography of flowering plants, as well as scenic nature and sky views, and of course the endless series of pictures of my kitty. On this page are a few successful images of orchids. These pictures were taken in my San Francisco flat or on my deck using available light, a Sigma macro lens and a Minolta SLR. These images were the result of directly scanning the film negatives into digital images. In many cases I have been having fun working with sun backlighting the petals.
These images are available for sale in the form of note cards or larger prints for anyone interested. This is not a big time operation at this time, so if you are interested, I will respond to inquiries on an individual basis. I am hoping to have a gallery showing of some of this work sometime in the next year in the San Francisco area. As I clean up my web space, I will be posting additional pictures of a floral or landscape nature.
