Location
This photo was made in my home studio. I regularly take pictures of my orchids and other flowers in the house, especially with different cameras, lenses and setup. I recently acquired a set of extension tubes so this is one of the first experiments with these tubes.Time

I like tu experiment with different kinds of set-ups. This photo is about the most magification i could create.Editing
Almost nu post-processing, just some tweaks in color and brightness. The photo was also rotated and flippedIn my camera bag
I have a choise of FF or crop sensor camera's, it all depends on the situation.Feedback
Altough the camera is quite expencive, the rest was done with second-hand lens and tubes with no artificial lightning. So you can create similar photos on your kitchen table. Just keep looking at all angles to find that perfect shot.
