Opening Orchid - timelapse

A collection of three orchids opening and closing. The blue orchid, a rather expensive purchase, didn't play ball and two out of three buds decided to wither up and die. All part of the fun of time lapsing.

Shot on a Canon 600D with one light and some white card to act as a reflector. Most of the light effects were created using masks using Adobe Camera Raw, [the images were shot in raw]. And compiled in After Effects on a home made PC.

Oh, Mark, this is absolutely fascinating. I could watch it again and again. Must have been a lot of work. Very well done! . . AB
