Sounds like it will be a great resource when its published Robert.
Thanks Richard, looking forward to that
I have only been photographing native orchids for a few years. I spent many years photographing fungi, mostly in the same reserves as several orchids. It was one of my neighbour's who suggested I should check out a few of the orchids in one of our local reserves. I was in the reserve one afternoon wandering along one of the tracks when I met another photographer who showed me a patch of mosquito orchids. They are so small and with my ageing eyes, I could not see any detail in the flower at all. It was only when I was looking at the image on the computer, I could see it properly. One thing about native orchids there are species flowering all year round, whereas fungi is generally only for a few months each year. I still photograph fungi if I see some while on my travels, and still travel out the odd night for ghost fungi.
Richard, these are superb, so many tiny orchids, it's amazing and the variety, there seem so many.
I am very interested in stacking with flower and insect images, I am planning an improvised stackshot type mount but haven't time to describe it right now, need to get to bed, busy day tomorrow.
