David, I have done some fiddling with pictures and lighting conditions (and did a post some years back). Even outside light is variable depending on time of day. The light can fool the camera and even our eyes. I take all of my pictures under diffuse light that has a color temperature of 4000 K, which is roughly midmorning or midafternoon sunlight. Northern hemisphere noon light is almost 5500K. Do you remember what time of day it was when you made the outside photograph? I decided not to standardize pictures to outside light since too many of my orchids bloom during times when it isn't safe for them to be outside.I have always wondered about the lighting conditions in the award centers.Many award photos don't look particularly good. Lighting would seem to affect judging as well as photographs. Do they try and standardize the lighting for the judging sessions?
