No more to say than that! (Well, maybe a little more!) Have a look at these shots made with my new Canon EOS Rebel XTi. I am still learning how to use the camera, but making strides every day. I am wondering if a macro lens will help me get the focus and crisp detail I want out of this camera? I am not yet satisfied with the quality, even though I think they are pretty good first efforts.
I purchased this orchid from Trader Joe’s. It is a miniature phalaenopsis and I fell in love with it. You certainly can’t beat the prices for orchids at Trader Joe’s. Can you believe this orchid was under ten dollars!
Orchids are amazingly beautiful flowers and this phalaenopsis really loves to pose for me! If you want to see more photos of orchids there are a quite few orchid groups on Flickr. You can also view all of my orchid photos here. Some were taken at botanical gardens which are a photographer’s wonderland. But here is my new lovely lady, in all her orchid glory!
And, finally, this one from last night showing the newest bloom as it is opening:
Just as an FYI, I am watering her with bottled water!

How nicely done! I love your photos. I have a standard DiMage Z3, it’s a nice beginner camera but my blog photos are so awful! I’ve had it for 3 years and only just started to explore the whole aperture/shutter stuff which I don’t understand. Go me!
P.S. I see trees in cabbage too

Thanks for your comment, Dina. I love my camera–and feel that I am always learning how to do more and more things with it. The fun never ends. In fact, I am of to the camera store right now to look at some new lenses.
By the way, I am glad to know you see things in cabbages, too.
