Laeliocattleya H. G. Alexander FCC/RHS, 1942, by Alexander. At nearly 80 years of age, this is still a magnificent orchid to behold.
Ilford FP4+, Deardorff 8X10 camera with a Darlot magic lantern lens, wide open (it has no aperture or stops).
Great texture. Also, there's a timeless quality. It feels like the photo was taken when the FCC award was given.
I'm a sucker for heirloom Cattleyas.
Nasturtium. 5x7 Delta 100 in D23. 210mm Fujinar (tessar).
