Thanks for all !!!
Bless each and all of you!
Loads of Calla Lilies growing in a little alley. Delightful to see and they have been protected from the rain. Most of the others I've seen are on they way out.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
It is always the same, once you have an idea for the studio, you get in there, see something else, and something else again, wonderful how inspirational it can be.
Some time ago we did the wedding of Michelle and Ben.
The theme was CALLA LILIES, the bouquets on the tables, her wedding flowers, the cake, all beautiful cool Callas...
We were given a vase to take home and photograph them under studio-conditions.
Sometimes I just 'feeeeeeeeel' like this, a flower image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasized without the colour. Don't you agree?
Thanx, M, (*_*)

Plain and simple, a Calla Lily was a refreshing sight as I wondered the grounds of the Belmond Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge (formerly the Orient-Express Sanctuary Lodge).
The Botanical Garden of Naples, Italy (in Italian: Orto botanico di Napoli, also Real Orto Botanico) is a research facility of the University of Naples Federico II.
The premises take up about 15 hectares and are located on via Foria, adjacent to the gigantic old Albergo dei Poveri, the Royal Hospice for the Poor under the Bourbon dynasty. The facility is part of the university’s Department of Natural Science. It is one of the many scientific and educational facilities instituted under French rule in Naples (1806–15). The Garden opened in 1810.
At present the Garden displays on the premises around 25,000 samples of vegetation, covering about 10,000 plant species. Although open to the public, the Garden is not, strictly speaking, a public park. It is really an educational facility for the university and local high schools and is separate from the agricultural department of the University of Naples. The Garden is also actively engaged in the preservation of endangered plant species. There is also an ethnobotany section of the Garden where plants are studied that are potentially useful, medicinally, to humans. Besides smaller structures on the premises, there are two larger ones: the 17th-century "castle," recently restored, and the 5,000 square meter Merola Greenhouse. The castle contains lecture and display rooms, and houses the Museum of Paleobotany and Ethnobotany. (Wikipedia)
This is a really (really, really) edited photo of a red and yellow calla lily that I took in my kitchen one day. I was looking everywhere for the "perfect" image of a white calla lily for a project I was working on.
I found that:
a) White calla lilies are beautiful - one of my favorite flowers, beside white roses - but they don't show much detail in photos; and
b) What I really wanted was a calla *drawing* and I could not find one that really suited my purposes.
So, I made my own - I was quite happy with myself over the result!
Jack the Flipper wishes you an inspiring Friday with this beautiful plant Portrait of a calla lily in color.
Today Callas stand for modernity and elegance. As a gift presented they are a symbol of beauty and appreciation.
Nature is our Mainspring !

A friend of ours gave my wife this Calla Lily for Mother’s Day. I planted it the next day and took some photos of it. It was a cloudy day. I was experimenting with different flash power to see what worked and what didn’t. I’ll let you decide if it worked.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR NICES COMMENTS & INVITES
I wish you a good night or good day !
MERCI POUR VOS CHALEUREUX COMMENTAIRES,,,, Bonne nuit ou bonne journée......
Calla lilies are said to come from the ancient god Hera, the wife of Zeus. In the story, Zeus brought Hercules to nurse from his wife while she was sleeping. He wanted his son to have the strength of the gods. Hera awoke and pushed the baby away from her. Drops of milk flew across the sky creating the milky way and everywhere they landed on earth, calla lilies bloomed.
We checked in on the Calla lilies at Garrapata Beach since the creek should have much more water following such a wet winter. Unfortunately, the valley was a scene of devastation; Most of the plants had been ripped right out of the ground by the force of the water. I was hard pressed to spot two clean looking lilies side by side that I could photograph.
Lens is the A120mm f/4 macro. Not much else to add here. Single frame, single exposure.
Thanks for looking.
