La Calla (Zantedeschia aethiopica, (L.) Spreng. 1826), dal greco kalos, bello, è una pianta perenne sempreverde dotata di un rizoma oblungo, di grandi dimensioni, con foglie basali largamente sagittate e piccioli < 9 dm, infiorescenze primaverili, solitarie, di colore bianco, composte da una lunga spata a forma d'imbuto, e da uno spadice biancastro eretto, fiori monoici. Appartiene alla famiglia delle Araceae.
A calla lily we brought home the other day is in the process of producing a new flower. This is with natural window light from the left side. I took four versions of this image with only the focus point changing, and then combined them in Photoshop CS4 so that I would have more depth of field than the lens is optically capable of. I've seen this process referred to as focus stacking.

Other pictures that were either taken in black and white or converted to black and white can be seen, logically enough, in my Black and White album.
This is a white calla lily and it is not yet bloomed. I took the picture by placing my 3 mega pixel camera phone on top of the flower and due to lack of light it is in a yellow colour. This is the result of my camera phone's journey to the center of the calla lily. Thank you my friends for all your comments.
Calla Lilies, often called Arum Lilies, Pig Lilies and Zantedeschia, are native to South Africa. White Calla Lilies are extremely popular for wedding flowers and at Easter time. I have the purple and white variety growing in my garden.

For our Studio Photography Gallery, we chose the Calla Lillies, because of the beauty of the blooms and the strong lines and soft detail forms.
Because of their pure aesthetics, it is in it’s symbolism no longer defined as a funeral flower, but is often given away as a symbol of beauty.
Common plants and flowers are always famous photography objects around the world. Photographing them like they look in the “colored world” may be a popular way to illustrate their own specific appearance. We choose to reduce the images in our specific and artistic way and present them in black&white with a special lighting situation. Our goal was to accentuate the contours of the flowers with our black-and-white photos.
Nature is our Mainspring!

The Calla Lilies here don't seem to have had a good start. Most of the ones I've found are looking very faded and they haven't been in flower that long.
Too much rain at the beginning of the season for them maybe, but at least this one was in a better condition than some I've seen.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
3 CALLAS
Zantedeschia, usually called calla or arum lilies( when white), they are not a true lily.
It is named after Italian botanist Francesco Zantedeschia.
It looks like
1. a meeting, a reunion?
2. I was interested by the lovely curves, the light on them, concentrated, but saw that, like people, they feel 'strong' as a group?
3. The 3 tenors was the 'humorous' aspect... La Calla one of the greatest sopranos?

Fusion image of an X-Ray and a HDR photo of Calla lilies. There is inner structure of the X-Ray and colors of the HDR photo. To realize a fusion image I had to map the X-Ray onto the HDR photo, because the Macro-lens and the X-ray tube have a different geometry.
