hello from NoVa

[cirillonb]

After years away from serious photography my recent hobby or growing orchids dragged me back. Now I'm hooked all over again.At least now I can afford good equipment. I am fascinated by post exposure work. This makes working in a chemical darkroom akin to old alchemy.
Hope to learn a lot here.

Welcome, Nick.

My sister recently gave me an orchid (nothing fancy, just a generic white) because she could never get it to bloom. A month later I had 4 blooms on it! But then I killed it, so I shouldn't feel too proud.

Got some pics of your orchids?

[cirillonb]

this has little to do with photography, but the quickest way to kill an orchid is by overwatering.

I'm almost certain that's exactly what I did.

And this is the Salon forum, where we can talk about non-photo topics.
