I once read that flowers are Nature laughing. Likely a bastardization of a statement made by Emerson, this quotation has remained with me over the years. It is a testament to the joy that I recently experienced while attending an orchid show on a bright winter day. The photograph below is indicative of what can be captured with an inexpensive 50 mm f/1.8 lens set at f/2 on an APS-C body. This is a lens I very rarely use, yet its shallow depth of field coupled with a close focusing distance lent itself as expected to the close-quarters shooting that was possible during the show.
