I've been looking for orchids the last couple weeks and the showy ladyslippers are at peakin northern Minnesota. This shot is in contrast to the previous ladyslipper post which was shot from below. In my orchid search there has been more adventure and blood loss than image production. I'll be eating liver to restore blood lost from mosquitoes before I head into the bogs again. Technical: 85 mm kit lens, f 22, human shadow for light diffusion
I spent a couple days in northern Minnesota last week looking for orchids. The ladyslippers are late this year as, are most wildflowers, and were just starting to bloom near Baudette. These guys like to bloom in the ditch and are a joy to photograph compared to bog orchids. Technical: iPhone image
