Submitter's name:	Thomas "Hank" Hogan
Title:	Orchids Macro
Gear used:	OM-2s + 50mm f3.5 macro + T10 Ring Flash + hand held
Diaphragm:	f8
Shutter speed:	1/30
Film Used:	Kodak Gold 200 (24 exp roll)
Technical information:	I used my recently converted to red-flash indicator OM-2S with the 50mm f3.5 macro. I do not remember if I had the T10 Ring Flash turned on or off. I shot the whole roll of 24 exposures with this 100% Olympus combination, and I'm pleased with most of them. I have no doubt that this lens is my best.
Subject information:	Fortunately I live close by a plant nursery that has an orchid hot-house on its grounds. I frequent the place on weekends and sometimes give the proprietors photographic prints to express my gratitude for being allowed to photograph there.

The low key background and high key lighting on the subject helps enhance the color contrast. It brings the blossoms out of the photograph toward the viewer enhancing the feeling of depth. Excellent bokeh.

The ripple effect of the purple coloring is mesmerizing.
