The book Orchids of new Zealand", printed maybe 1989. ISBN 0 589 01442 0 The clear plastic cover over the dust jacket didn't help at all !!]]> Brian Swale photo Sun, 17 Aug 2014 05:39:24 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=14154 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=14154
A much-magnified macro photo of the printed image. The original in the book measures only 85 x 110 mm.]]> Brian Swale photo Sun, 17 Aug 2014 05:33:07 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=14150 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=14150
John Johns, official photographer for many years for the now-defunct New Zealand Forest Service, was a meticulous and very skilled photographer. Here he is in his spare time with and Pen half-frame and Kodachrome 25 taking a photograph to illustrate a complete guide to NZ Orchids. He much preferred diffuse light, note that the flash is from the side, with light reflected from a white surface to illuminate the opposite side. Note also the use of a Kodak Grey card as background. The photos were on half-frame slides. My photos taken with E-3 and manual Panagor 55mm f/2.8 macro, probably at f/11. Tripod, outdoors; mostly bright cloud.]]> Brian Swale photo Thu, 11 Aug 2016 21:25:57 -0500
