First Place

Mirrored Orchid    Rose Christner

After over 3 hours and 100 or more shots and cleaning up a messy set-up on the kitchen table, I finally decided on this shot. I used a black velvet cloth background and a large mirror and a spray bottle of water. I used a tripod so as not to have camera shake and a clicker for my unsteady hand. The lighting I used was about as unprofessional as you can get…flashlights 😉 . Shot at F 5.6, 1/30, ISO 320 with my 18-135 lens and my Canon EOS R.
