Creating beautiful photos of your Just Add Ice Orchids isn’t difficult, but there are a few tricks to photographing flowers. To help you snap pictures like a pro, follow these tips and see our previous post for additional tips:

• Focus is important. At normal settings, digital cameras focus on a large area that can cause close-up objects to look blurry. For orchid photos, switch your camera to spot-focus mode. Most digital cameras now come with a variety of pre-programmed settings, including one for close-ups. A flower icon is often used to designate this mode, but you may have to haul out your manual to find the close-up setting on your camera. It’s worth the trouble. Using spot focus, you’ll get gorgeous, clear photos when you zoom in on your orchid.
• Experiment with perspective. Try photographing your orchid from various angles. You can create dramatic photos by crouching down and shooting up at your orchid or standing on a chair and looking down.

Now that you’re armed with plenty of orchid photo tips, take a moment to capture your Just Add Ice Orchids in all their glory and share them with our Facebook community. We can’t wait to see your orchid pictures!
