Cymbidium Orchid up close

[bmitchell82]

Just trying out a Sigma 50mm dedicated macro lense on the Pentax K10. My step dad grows orchids so i took the opportunity to have a crack at them as i believe that they have beautiful structures

I think its a awesome lens allowing me to get really close to the subject.

So without further adoo

F 5.8
ISO 200
1/750 second
Natural sunlight

Colour balanced in PS CS3
