Excellent work, Brie! Seriously. I know there are a lot of photographers here who would benefit from hearing how you light your work. Hint, hint. Your great strength is your finely tuned awareness of lighting, IMO. Nicely done.

:blush: Such kind words from the CP photography masta' ;) thanks!

Well, I did all of these with little folding camp table, a thick piece of styrofoam and a black t-shirt as a back drop.. lol.. for lighting I used my Droso's two table lamps, bendy necked kind, that are running 2 6500k PC bulbs.. for WB I use an ExpoDisc.. For each plant I was shooting, i'd aim the two lamps where i'd want em, and viola... :)
 
Splendid Brie! You've really got quite a handle on these plants quickly, wish I could grow those babies as nice as you.

Keep it up :)
 
Thanks guys. :) I dont really have the magic touch with pings.. Killed my P. medusina. :\ I apparently kept it too wet while it was going dormant and rotted out its bulb.. *sigh*. I have a few babies left barely clinging to life, hoping they make it..
 
So I apparently overlooked a very distinguishable admirabilis trait.
The leaves literally unroll out on top of each other as they stack. The also literally roll up over their caught prey. A whole lot of leaf rolling going on..

The 2 leaves in the back have been fed. The rest are new unfurling leaves. Looking at that.. I'm not thinking admirabilis so much anymore.

Hmm yeah I went and checked and no, this plant never did curl up or even fold the leaf much.. just sorta cupped the bit of food.. I thought the snap tentacles were unique to admirabilis?

thanks! you should get one! So far mine has been super easy...
 
It's definitely high on my list! I have major indoor space issues lately, so I have to live through pictures of other people's drosos for awhile.
