After many years of searching for this orchid a friend of a friend steered me to a small colony - just 100 yds from an area I had passed by many times before!

Nikon D810 & Sigma 180mm f/3.5 + 1.4x tc
f/5 @ 1/60, ISO 640 (the wind & dark conditions were problematic)

Hi

Always great to find that little rarity you have been waiting for - and even better to capture the moment in time at nicely as this. A pleasingly delicate looking orchid and a nice image


All the best
Matthew
