My mom got me this gorgeous Calla Lily Barbie many years ago and I finally photographed her over the weekend. I'm considering putting her head and outfit on the Made to Move Barbie body because she'll have so much more movement and the vinyl of her face matches the Asian bodied one perfectly. I don't care for photographing my dolls that have limited posability options. It's not nearly as much fun.
Zantedeschia fall into two main types: hardier outdoor forms, often called arum lilies, with striking white flowers; and the more tender forms, such as this one, typically with white-spotted leaves and pretty flowers in yellow, orange, pink or dark purple.
These are often called calla lilies. This one was flourishing in a neighbour's front garden and, to my mind, one of the prettiest colours!
Calla lilies and hydrangeas are 2 of my favorite flowers....this was originally 2 different images, in black and white that i layered and tweeked to get the final result, which i love!.....

Been trying some indoor flash shots with flowers. Used a reflector to light up the back of the petals
im not thrilled with the bottom embossed stars, but I was playing around with it and by the time I realized I wasnt happy.....it was too late to take off. Oh well.
I wish you could see the calla lily color a little better. I marbled pink and white fondant for the outside, then used a tangerine for the middle.
BTW- this cake is teeny tiny too, its about the size of a can of soda. :o)
We saw many of these exotic flowers all along the Oregon and California coasts. They appeared to be right at home in the cloudy and wet weather that we found on most of our trip.
Wikipedia says that in Western Australia "it has been classified as a toxic weed and pest."
I've always found them attractive in their elegant simplicity.
Here’s another calla lily image I took. This one I placed the calla lily on top of the navy blue foam core instead of placing the calla in a vase with the foam core behind it. The blue came out much lighter because the light was shining down on it. I kind of like the real dark blue of the other shot, so I tried darkening it and adding vignetting in Lightroom. I can’t get it as dark as the other calla image. Please let me know what you think, thank you!

More playing with lighting and the Hot Pink Dward Calla Lily I recently bought.
Strobist info: One hand held SB600 in a snoot to the left and slightly in front of the flower. Triggered by the pop up flash on my D90.
Other plants and flowers that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my strobe lit plant set. In the description, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...
A rework of the post processing on an old favorite image. The old image had some problems but I've managed to learn a bit more photoshop since this was taken and have recovered from most of them.
Best viewed in a larger size, I think
Also not bad viewed on black
Compare this image with the old version.
Took many pictures with different focus and blended manually in PS to get the sharpnes over a deep field. And then some sharpening an detail enhancing along with some doge and burn.

Thanks a lot!!!
There were a bunch of potted calla lilies on one of the counters in the store.. Couldn't resist and got the old purse camera out and shot away...
Making a bouquet of these for my studio. Since I have pets it's not safe for me to have real flowers in the house, so this is a lovely solution!
A single raindrop hanging from our Calla lily out front. I just love the soft wash of color wide apertures produce in macro photography.
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.
