Location
This picture of the Cymbidium orchid was taken at the Eric Young Orchid Foundation. My family has always had orchids since 5 generations and I took the opportunity in December 2015 to travel from Kent to Jersey to visit this amazing orchid farm and see a meeting of the Orchid Section of the Royal Horticultural Society.Time
This picture was taken at midday in a Greenhouse of the Eric Young Orchid Foundation. As orchids are not allowed to have direct sunlight it was not easy to find the right amount of light for a good picture with daylight.Lighting
Go for light conditions but avoid direct sunlight. Just like orchids :-)Equipment
Simple Nikon 5300 and 105mm lensInspiration
I love all kinds of orchids and have 50 of them at home! The orchids you can find in Jersey are just so extraordinarily well kept and cultivated!Editing
I sharpened the picture.In my camera bag
My camera, a macro lens and a portrait lens.Feedback
Take more pictures of your orchids. When it is cold outside they will flower inside your home when every other plant outside hibernates!
