Orchids

[Ginn]

Got the manual 70-200mm lens out this morning and had a play with the only flowers in the house that hadn't been chewed by the cats or taken out by the dogs tail!!

Anyways, here's the results; be as critical as you like :)

Some nice detail there... though you could probably do with cleaning your lens or sensor. There's a noticeable splodge on them all.

I love Orchids... but they are so friggin' expensive :lol:

Oh well spotted :eek: What is the best way to clean a lens without smearing or scratching?

I love orchids too - such pretty flowers! Find Tesco is the best place to pick them up, can't go wrong for about £5!!

[Jo]

£5.00? :eek: I'll have to have a look next time I go!

I'm not sure about the cleaning thing hon, probably best of asking someone else... just not Janice :lol: (sorry Janice I couldn't resist) I've only had my DSLR a few months so I haven't had to clean mine yet.

I have only one word to say on the subject............Phaleenopsis!! (and thats the name of the plant!!) :lol:
