Seen while walking back to our car after enjoying a walk on the beach at Carmel-by-the-Sea in California. (11-03-09-6517)
This is a yellow pudding cake filled with chocolate buttercream and iced with a french vanilla buttercream. It's adorned with gumpaste callas and fondant leaves. The beargrass is artificial.
These Callas `re still flowering despite the heat. They look a little less open and full of colour, but definitely asking for me to post the camera their way again...
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).
Sinar P2 4x5 305mm/9.0 Schneider G-Claron. Ilford HP5+ developed for 12min. in 1/25 Rodinol at 20C in a Jobo 2520 tank with reel on a Jobo processor. Split-grade printed with an LPL 7453 enlarger +fujinon-EP 135mm/5.6 lens. Paper is 8x10 Adox MCC11) processed with Chugai developer. Print was washed with a Patterson print washer, and selenium toned (Adox Seletoner). Pressed with a Seal Junior 60 press and scanned on a Epson GTX970 scanner without adjustments.
I have a pot of these lilies on my balcony and they did not bloom last year, but they flowered nicely this season.
With this Calla I received good wishes for my recovery! So I want to share it with all of you and thank each and all of you also for all good wishes and thoughts! I feel blessed with such good friends here in Flickr and beyond! This will help me on my long way of recovery, I am sure!
Thanks for all !!!
Bless each and all of you!
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 !

I like that dramatic light from a soft box.
THanx for viewing, M,(*_*)
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.
Not just a’A’ Calla, no, a DOUBLE!!! Never saw this before, a mutation?
Will it fly? LOL
I love 'abstracting', letting you see pure shape, and here minimal colour.
More experiments with lights and shapes...
Zantedeschia, usually called Calla or arum lilies( when white), they are not a true lily.
It is named after Italian botanist Francesco Zantedeschi.
Thanx for your comment and visits, as always, much appreciated. M, (*_*)
