I have been monitoring a Ghost Orchid I discovered in Fakahatchee Strand for the past few weeks and waiting on it to bloom. I knew it was getting close to when it would be in full bloom and did not want to miss getting some photos of it before it withered and died. Luckily when I got there the Ghost Orchid was still in full bloom but I was a few days late as it had alreadys started to turn brown in a few places.
I spent about and hour shooting the orchid in different light and compositions. The day I went was during the rain storms that we had been having hear in South Florida that were lasting days at a time. I got lucky in that once I got to the site the rain had gone from a downpour to a sprinkle and eventually became intermittent. This gave me a small window of opportunity to take some shots before the rain started again. Unfortunately, it also meant very low light conditions as it was cloudy and I was under a pretty thick tree canopy.
