Looks like carved on marble. Excellent photographs … I am jealous of your camera and the man behind the camera both

These pics are taken from my HK office camera. Very fresh and the flowers are still open. These Paphiopedilums keep open for a very long time, sometimes, over months.
Camera specifications:
NIKON D700
105 MM Nikkor lens
Macro Flash set: SB900+ 2 wireless remote light SB-R200.
This is also a fresh picture taken on my office table just now from my mobile.
It has very sophisticated flash system which helps reduce shadows,
unless you want shadows to be on the pic.
Hope you will like it.

… oh !! this is a super camera !!
