Orchid (week 02/08)
Jan 15th, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo
This weeks topic for photo of a week was heavily influenced by the fact that Helsinki Winter Garden is going under renovation for two months. Since it is one of my favorite spots for photographing plants, I decided to visit it once more. It was still too early to see jade plant’s flowers, but camellia, orchids and few others kept me busy.
Technical information: Canon EOS 40D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro & Canon Speedlight 580EX II (4s, f/11, ISO200)


What a gorgeous macro shot, Juha. I love rich colors. Your photography amazes me.
Another great shot. Keep up the good work.
Like the flower. Love the reflective train in your header. I have a similar shot at the Zig Zag. Where is yours taken??
Header keeps on changing, so if some of you haven’t seen the train there, you just need refresh your page few times and it will hopefully pop up or you can check it from my Portfolio.
Photograph is taken on train ride from Puno to Cusco in Peru. From Cusco my journey continued to Inca Trail and Machu Picchu.
Orchids are one f my favorite plants. You have captured the colors beautifully.
