Taken at the Fred Meyer garden center here in University Place, Washington. I was fascinated by it's shape and, having my camera with me ;-), I just had to get a shot....I have been playing around with it in Photoshop to see what I can create, but this is the original.

It has been a must of spring flower shooting for me in the last couple years to go to Garrapta park of Big Sur, until the recent year the Calla Lillies Valley suddenly become so popular in general public, and not suitable for photographer. I did bring the family stop by the spot at late afternoon during the spring break, but decide not stay until the sunset since so many people running around the area.
I have scouted a couple of calla lillies spots in the Bay Area since last year, and still figure out the best way to present them. This is one of spots I discovered from last year, and I tried it this year with a foggy time. Let me know what you think.
As always, CC are highly appreciated!
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!
Been trying some indoor flash shots with flowers. Used a reflector to light up the back of the petals
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!

Calla lily flower (Zantedeschia aethiopica), shot with a Kodak Z-650 camera in natural light with black backdrop. An old photo which I decided to upload now.
Thanks for viewing and commenting!
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/...
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!!!
This cake is iced in white butter cream and decorated with black fondant polka dots and accented with small fondant roses. I've made this cake before as a birthday cake.
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...
