Very well done, ... even mother nature cooperated , sunlight in just the right spots...
how long a telephoto lens did you end up using for this must be relatively high up in the branches....
I have been periodically looking at the pictures during this day, every time I look at it, makes me wistful that I was there atleast to have seen it... I always like this play of light and shadow...
Looked at your series on flickr too loved it
I used 45 - 200 lens at its tele-end.
It was low light; no specific setting; it was point metering, point and shoot in program mode

Do you have a bit closeup of this flower?
Strange that the flowers looks so small!!
And ofcourse there is an interesting Bulbophyllum in the third pic which I have no idea without flowers!! Could you identify it in field?
Sorry but your Bulbophyllums have flower too!!! Amazing.... What is that? Do you have closeups?
Thanks ...; I have sent you the original pics in separate mail. Hopefully they help.
About 6 years back, had seen such orchids in my earlier trip to Coorg.
I think it is Coelogyne breviscapa. But not yet sure of Bulbophyllum below.
The other orchid seems like Trias stocksii now called Bulbophyllum stocksii. ... identified it.
