Bifranaria inodora
This will be the third month in a row I'll be fortunate to take a
different bifrenaria in bloom to our meeting. Tyrianthina went two months ago, harrisoniae alba went last month, and now I have this smallish plant with two sets of two flowers each. I have taken upwards of 60 pics of this and finally in desperation of ever getting either a focus or correct color rendition, I borrowed my roommate's camera as he was on his way out the door to work. All he knew about its operation was how to turn it on, which button to push to take the pic, that there was a manual 'somewhere' in the lower floor's three rooms and closets, and the cord required to connect it to the computer. I'm trying to get up to speed in only a short time on what seems to be a SLR digital camera with a manual focus option. Never used a SLR before and the only digital I've had is a Nikon and this is a Canon. Not only totally different controls, different names for the same functions. SO, I finally got not a great but an acceptable pic of the inodora, which smells nice early in the day. |
