my first orchidsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #sublimesunday7 years ago (edited)

I got this orchid due to such a dubious fact that my office was destroyed, my employer moved from its place of residence and rid of many things. as the proverb says, “two relocations are equal to one fire”. So, I 'saved' an unnecessary bookcase and this orchid from being rid-off.... but the post is not about that.

My post is about how beautiful was this morning. Today nature gave us five (!) hours of sunshine and good weather! It was very generous, other days we are getting nothing at all. So, I took my family to the Botanical Park (last time we visited it in April) ... Alas, when we were there, the sun was already turned off for us. This picture I took at home. And, you know, this year it blooms already for the second time! 1st round, in February, the flowers lasted for several months, this was an amazing experience for me.

Эту орхидею я заполучил благодаря такому сомнительному факту, что мой офис вышвырнули на улицу, и фирма переехала с насиженного места... пришлось избавляться от многочисленной рухляди, "все что было нажито непосильным трудом" отправлялось на улицу... как говорит пословица, "два переезда равны одному пожару". в общем, я унес из офиса ненужный книжный шкаф и эту орхидею. но пост не про это.

Пост про то, какой красотой было наполнено это утро. сегодня природа подарила мне целых пять часов солнечного света и хорошей погоды! я мы всей семьей поехади в Ботанический парк, где я последний раз был в апреле... увы, когда мы оказались на месте, солнце нам уже выключили. а орхидею я сфотографировал дома. за этот год она цветет уже второй раз! и цветы продолжаются по несколько месяцев, это потрясающий опыт для меня.


Taken with Canon 5D + 16-35mm.

Forgot to mention: I used the bright sunlight from a window, to make this capture. so, its natiral lighting, and a raw conversion, nothing else was used to improve the result.

Congratulations! enjoy :)

I enjoy it every day, twice: in the morning, and sometimes, when I come home in the evening. lets see how long it will last, this round :P
i also have got another little one (same species, I think the name is Falenopsis), standing on my desktop at office (stolen from the same source, hehe). never bloomed yet.

I'm not a photography fan, neither am a flower fan myself. But there is this one occasion I was required to snap a photo of a flower, I started to realize taking pictures for flower is a tough job and required much skills. The focus of the object, need to wait patiently until the wind goes off, color filter, and subjective of angle of the sun, exposure etc.

yes... and dont forget about adding a picturesque background! :=)

That never came to my mind. Do you guys really set up the background just to snap a photo of that flower? Here's what I got, I can't even settle the focus just yet 😥

sometimes.

(in my case, with orchid, it was a piece of blue paper :-)
and the focus :/ getting it well with one part, you getting it blurred on another :) some folks stitch together pics from 5-15 takes, so that all details would be sharp and focused :P (not about me, yet)

Oh yes! I heard of that function, something burst mode and combined all of the shots to capture all the detail 🙂 amazing.

я слышал, что переезд равен двум пожарам, но не суть)) А вот орхидеи, это интересно)

Once you get one orchid many more are to follow, i have around 10 different ones now lol.

well; I love that idea!
what else can I say.. I'm just limited in resources. all the windows space is already taken, by wife's violets!

My orchids are all dormant. I bought them at a market and was hoping I would figure out how to take care of them. But I think half are dead now 😜 one looks like it is growing new leaves. There is hope!

the most widelyspread error, as I am being told, is giving them too much water! :=) strange, but true. roots become to rot..

'dormant' has many meanings. do you mean, they just feel uncomfortable, and prefer not to bloom, just sit in their pots, and thats all?

Oo I think I might have fed them too much water 😳
Hmm I am hoping that they are sleeping and might one day grow again although at this point they look as withered as can be, just brown 😳

sleeeping... and having rotten roots is not the same, I suppose. @nikv is a gardening expert, she surely can tell it better than me.

You called me... Brown doesn't sound good at all in the context of orchids :|

just wanted to say you good morning :P

heh. I thought this didnt sound encouraging, too.
@marblely, maybe you can took a pic or two?..
