VIDEOS: NIKON COOLPIX L810


Here are a couple of videos of my new Nikon Coolpix L810...




PHALAENOPSIS: THE FIRST OF THE PELLORICS WITH NEW SHOOTER

Two first are appearing in this post and one is the first shots of the very first Pelloric Phalaenopsis and now there are several others right behind it I am very interested to see again.

The second is that due to all this happening and with the Vanda coerulea and Spring almost SPRUNG and a year overdue I have a new Nikon Camera to take shots of my Orchids and Wildlife I am off to get shots of very soon.

Far more versatile than my other Nikon, though it has done me proud... to an extent lol.

This new shooter has a far bigger objective lens of 3.1 upwards so fast for what it is and no it is NOT a DSLR but does look like one, it is a Bridge Camera and in all honesty much more easy to transport about than a bigger heavier SLR and along with the TWO lenses I would need with it...MINIMUM! LOL!

I will post pictures up of both my shooters over the weekend to come.






VANDA COERULEA FLASH ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS

Probably the most blue they have appeared in a photo this far?!

I did this after the timers switched out the lights and used the flash only just to see how they would appear.

Well here they are...

VANDA COERULEA AT CLOSE QUARTERS Part 2

More close up shots of the Vanda coerulea flowers...

The textures on the petals are quite something and it changes a great deal depending on the light as does the colour. As I said previous this is a blue orchid but light has to be right. Only other blue Orchid that I know of, saw a third type but no details on it just yet, is the Dendrobium victoriae-reginae and also a stunning plant and flower in its own right!






VANDA COERULEA AT CLOSE QUARTERS Part 1

Vanda coerulea

I should really explore my artistic & attention to detail side a great deal more than I do!

I completely forgot I did these?!

Couple of the Phalaenopsis hybrids getting close now



That Pelorric Phalaenopsis Hybrid will be first ... AGAIN!! LOL!




Dendrobium kingianum CREAM SPIKES APLENTY

My Dendrobium kingianum CREAM

This will have an absolute profusion of flowers this year!!

Just about every cane I look at has a spike and a majority have two I have noted!! This should be quite a show when they are all out.

Should add that they have all taken longer to flower, not sure if down to temperature fluctuations or not but most likely.
