Steemit photo challenge #62 (SPC62), "Flowers", Entry #2: Dactylorhiza maculata, Heath Spotted Orchid

in photography •  7 years ago 

Hello!

This is my second entry to the SPC62 featuring flowers, hosted by @jamtaylor.

I hope you like it! :)

Maariankämmekkä
Maariankämmekkä, Dactylorhiza maculata

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50 mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/1.4
Exposure: 1/1600 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

I shot this last Summer as a part of my One Photo Every Day project, when I was visiting Pyhätunturi, Lapland with Leo and Miro. :)

Here's a quote paraphrased from my OPED #28:

"Maariankämmekkä" was named after Virgin Mary (the mother of Jesus in the Bible), as its roots have the appearance of hands in prayer.

very simple pure flower i like it

Orchidea is not in vain considered an elite flower, it looks great. Awesome photograph. Thanks for you always the photos are excellent.

Amazing and professional image @gamer00
I am a photography enthusiast
But I do not have money to buy a camera
with high quality
Just stick to my phone
And I hope to get it

Hi and thank you!

Here's a tip for you:
There's no need to go bankrupt, buy a cheap used camera instead. :) Mine is about 10 years old now, and still takes good photos. It used to sell for 600 euros, and today I could probably get one for under 50. It's the lenses that can sometimes be expensive though, but even the kit lens is often good enough.

Thank you very much dear @gamer00 for the information
I will ask about it and I will buy it
I following you now for get mor information
Thank you again
Good luck

I use my Samsung Galaxy S6 and it can take great photos for a 300€ phone. You can fake beautiful shots with Photoshop if you have the skills.

I mean I also use my 800€ drone but I would survive with my phone just as well

That is pretty and I love the simplicity of this photo!

Thank you! I agree, it's one of my own personal all-time favourites too. :)

Dactylorhiza maculata, Heath Spotted Orchid.
Dactryylor... Dactylorge... I just can't pronounce it properly :DD

i like the purple color of spotted-orchid flower plant. nice shot

You are early today, it is so wonderful! I think you should give us photography lesson :)

That is a good idea... I've been thinking about that for a while. I might just do that one of these days. :)

Let's do that, we will be grateful :)

@gamer00,
Is it a challenge? Wow this is amazing! Shall we organize a kind of 7 days flower challenge? I think it might be a pretty good idea friend! This is amazing!

Cheers~

Great click!!! I like the color of the flower.It has a very soothing color
-cheers-

I really like the depth of field that you have going on

Me too! That's one of the benefits of using a fast prime.

wow nice capture..i like the how you have taken it by sort of blotting the background..it highlights the flower very well :)

Now this flower looks much more "Standard" than the other one ;)

Have you made the steemit photo challenge by yourself? Or do the officeial steemit photo challenge have any options?

Nope, this particular challenge is not mine, @jamtaylor hosts it.

You can check out the rules from @jamtaylor's latest SPC post.

@upvoted

Amazing !!

Stunning !

a nice and interesting photo ..
how can i take a photo like that ..

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

With proper preparation. You'll have to place your subject into a place that's properly lit, see if the angle and composition works. (Use the rule of thirds if you aren't sure about your composition. It usually works!)

If you want to replicate what I did with this photo, maybe get a DSLR camera.

Fabulous photo click. Attractive my mind deeply. Purple coloring flower awesome.
