Restrepia sanguinea

A distinctive clone of this variable species.

 

Thanks, all.

Forrest, thanks I'm working on improving them. Not a New Years resolution, but I bought a book on processing RAW images. Now I just have to read it.

Dawn, there is a lot of variety in Restrepia species in general and sanguinea in particular. Except for a few very distinctive ones, I only know what the label says and I keep getting different opinions and the same plant.

 

Kyle, I bought "Camera Raw" from PeachPit Press to learn more about processing my images. I shoot in RAW format on a Canon with 8.2 megabites. After looking at Thomas' images I wanted to know what is so different. I already use the same lens and I love it. I'm happy with my lighting set up (I can tell you about it if you want). I'm told that having a higher megabite capture is not going to make a notable difference (not quite sure I believe that). So it must be something I'm doing or not doing. Are you shooting under lights? What camera do you use, lens? How do you process them?

 

Thanks, Karen, I like the composition on it very much.

I'm now up to page 35 in my camera book. It is much easier than the Mr. Bill book. I haven't fallen asleep yet.

 

Are you shooting in Raw or just jpg? If you shoot Raw, you can adjust for lighting very easily. I'll wait for you other post.

 

Even if you don't use RAW now, you should be able to set your camera to shoot both RAW and jpg at the same time. Then later if you want to process your images in RAW, you have it. It is extra storage, but well worth it.
