John Rideout, Native Orchids (OPEN 2022)

Several months ago I had a friend of my mothers asked her if I could take some photos of orchids while I am walking through the reserve and on a camping trip. All the photos were taken with a Pentax PK camera and a Sigma 70 -300 mm Wide/ Macro len. EllisBrookValley.0025C - shot: 1/1000 F5.6 240mm. Iso: 100. EllisBrookValley.0039 - shot: 1/320 F5.6 300 mm.
