Being stuck with nothing to do all day, I headed on out to the Los Angeles Arboretum for some pictures of their orchids and carnivorous plants, mainly orchids. I always enjoy taking pictures of nature, but orchids are definitely my favorite, plus I order large prints of my pictures to give as gifts.....saves money and time. I only brought my 50mm, speedlight, and a remote trigger as I didn't want to be carrying around so much gear just for a few pictures and I knew exactly how I wanted my pictures to be like. I took advantage of the greenhouse light (which made the sunlight soft) for ambient lighting while my speedlight was the main source of light. I kept going in and out of the greenhouse because it was very humid compared to the outdoor weather but all in all, it was a good day.
