An unfurling yellow calla lily bud.
Hey, Flickr pals - Even I need a break from birds .... ;-)
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday to all!!
I received the new softbox that I ordered today, so I thought I'd try lighting the entire plant instead of just individual flowers. I just finished reading the book "Off-Camera Flash" by Neil van Nieker, and it's been extremely helpful in learning how to light things the way I want. For this picture I positioned the softbox to the left and slightly above the plant, and used a reflector off to the right to bounce a little light back on the to right side of the plant.
Other Calla Lilies that I have exploited, can be seen here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/
Like most photographs, it looks better large. Please press "L" if you'd like to see it that way.
Wasn't sure which shot to post, This one is focusing on the yellow part (stamen?) and the one below is focusing on the swirly tip of the petal (bottom left)
Can you tell I have been practising with my D5000 a lot!

Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Signature ("All you need is one light, bro.")

God of all comfort and all peace, pour out that comfort and peace on the wounded, the grieving and all our anxious hearts.

I thought this Calla Lily looked like a heart.. I know that our our hearts go out to all of the victims and their families in the Boston Marathon tradgedy and the tragedy in Texas!!!..♥
We still have cold weather here in Minnesota...I went to the sunken garden at the Conservatory to see some Spring flowers!! ; )
