The orchid is still producing flowers much to my amazement! Thought you might like to see the set-up which is very basic. Crumpled tissue paper fastened to north-facing window (first time I've tried this), kit lens on tripod. On the right you can just see my home-made reflectors made of white mount board and silver radiator foil. No texture on this image. The 'studio' might be in a different place next time!

The flowers are striking and I enjoyed seeing your set-up.
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice of you to share how you set up your photos. I don't think of things like that but the tissue works great. The orchid is still gorgeous. I also love your new header! Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful and how nice to see your studio! I've never thought to try that but I'm sure reflecting light using white board and silver foil as you have done is very effective.
ReplyDeleteI agree, lovely to see your studio, I had a tin foil reflector which was so good. Black velvet is a really good reflector too, I used an old coat
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks that is a great idea, often I use a wall in my kitchen as my backdrop!! Gorgeous orchid. Love the new header and also your curtains!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty, Julia. The blooms last for a very long time. Just about 2 months.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you!
Mine is still going strong too. I almost moved it to a different location so that I could enjoy it more, but I left it happy where it is blooming!
ReplyDeleteThose orchids are amazing! They'll bloom for months. They seem to do well in my kitchen window, too. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLovely diffused light, good ol' tissue paper ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that someone else improvises like me. I use baking parchment on the window. Your tissue paper must make a lovely textured background
