Steemit photo challenge #62 (SPC62), "Flowers", Entry #2: Dactylorhiza maculata, Heath Spotted Orchid
Hello!
This is my second entry to the SPC62 featuring flowers, hosted by @jamtaylor.
I hope you like it! :)

Maariankämmekkä, Dactylorhiza maculata
Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50 mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/1.4
Exposure: 1/1600 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200
I shot this last Summer as a part of my One Photo Every Day project, when I was visiting Pyhätunturi, Lapland with Leo and Miro. :)
Here's a quote paraphrased from my OPED #28:
"Maariankämmekkä" was named after Virgin Mary (the mother of Jesus in the Bible), as its roots have the appearance of hands in prayer.

Hi and thank you!
Here's a tip for you:
There's no need to go bankrupt, buy a cheap used camera instead. :) Mine is about 10 years old now, and still takes good photos. It used to sell for 600 euros, and today I could probably get one for under 50. It's the lenses that can sometimes be expensive though, but even the kit lens is often good enough.
Thank you very much dear @gamer00 for the information
I will ask about it and I will buy it
I following you now for get mor information
Thank you again
Good luck
I use my Samsung Galaxy S6 and it can take great photos for a 300€ phone. You can fake beautiful shots with Photoshop if you have the skills.
I mean I also use my 800€ drone but I would survive with my phone just as well
That is pretty and I love the simplicity of this photo!
Thank you! I agree, it's one of my own personal all-time favourites too. :)

Dactryylor... Dactylorge... I just can't pronounce it properly :DD
i like the purple color of spotted-orchid flower plant. nice shot
You are early today, it is so wonderful! I think you should give us photography lesson :)
That is a good idea... I've been thinking about that for a while. I might just do that one of these days. :)
Let's do that, we will be grateful :)
@gamer00,
Is it a challenge? Wow this is amazing! Shall we organize a kind of 7 days flower challenge? I think it might be a pretty good idea friend! This is amazing!
Cheers~
