^pity mate....I love a good scroll!

^^^^^ I scroll so much my mouse wheel is molten and I now have tungsten fingers.

P.S. That may sound like I'm saying I scroll past peoples pictures, that's not the intended message (I think I'm thinking too much)

Anyway just to keep it on topic heres the top bit, was just testing a lens out close focus is 2 metres which at f4 gives 1cm DOF.

Can one get banned for posting too much Orchids?

^ Hell no !!!

Are these all your Orchids CB?

That first one in your last set is beautiful,never seen that one before! If it is yours then could you maybe tell me where you bought it?

I ask this because my Missus is a Orchid-holic,we must have over a 100 of them around the home.Speaking of the Missus,she called me up

the other day sounding very excited,I was hoping that w had won the lottery.......but no,turned out that one of the Orchids we bought last year

at the Khon Kaen flower show had flowered for the first time.

The wife had an Orchid syndrome a few years back... and I like to take photos of them, so many were indeed ours.

The last 3 I remember exactly, I was shoting a nice Orchid while waiting for lunch at a roadside stall, some guy saw me and insisted

to show me his Orchids at his nearby (big) place.

As far as I could understand him these 3 where seldom/expensive ones.

He was really happy to show them to us.

^^^ CB....It's also nice you took his offer...beautiful orchid pix. The top one is amazing.
