It's Spring time! My wife and I decided to try our hand at making our apartment a bit greener. I project this weekend was to re-pot our Calla Lilly and Maru Lilly and add new soil for our cactus. We also decided to try our hand at growing some herbs. Here are the photos of what we've done so far :)
I shot this during a photography workshop which was held on Whidbey Island which is in the state of Washington. The lily was outside and the setup was quite a challenge, especially positioning the tripod where I wanted it. From the EXIF data you can see that I used a Canon 100-400 lens but it also had the Canon 500D macro diopter on it and I can't recall whether I also used a x1.4 coupler and extension tubes (which I did do on some shots that same day). Fortunately there was no wind because I needed f32 to get the depth of field.
Eine besonders exotische Blume ist die Calla, die ursprünglich aus Südamerika stammt und in diesem Jahr in unserem Garten blüht.
Was für den Betrachter wie eine ganz besonders üppige Blüte wirkt, ist jedoch tatsächlich nur ein Hüllblatt - auch als Blütenvase bezeichnet. Die eigentliche Blüte ist der gelbe Kolben im Inneren. Aus der ursprünglich weissen Ausgangsfarbe sind viele Neuzüchtungen entstanden. Calla in den Farben gelb, pink und apricot sind bereits weit verbreitet.

my Calla Lily right now has 28 flowers- it has grown from a small plant into a monster that wants to take over...
no garden in Spain is without Callas.
A few specs of dust on the Lilies can be seen in the enlargement, as they were grown undercover without any rain to wash them down.

The calla lilies are starting to bloom in our garden.

Aperture f/4.5
Focal Length 55 mm

The depth of field was enhanced a little by sharpening the flower a bit and not touching the rest of the image.
I found Calla teaching the stuffies and Lalaloopsys their alphabets today. Not sure she quite has it down herself yet...
A smooth and clean pair of Callas.
Here´s our 2.nd contribution to our "Calla" Gallery. Although the flower is poisonous - doesn´t all the nice things have an inpingement - it´s not to unreasonably hazardous to handle. Just got to be cautious. “Wash your hands!", yes Mom :)
So enjoy these two tenderly beauties.
I used a Nikkor 35-200mm f/3.5-4.5 Macro AI Manual Lens. The camera metadata defaults to 200mm on Non-CPU lens data.
The actual millimeter used was approximately 35-50mm.
This lens was purchased between 1969-70.
I find my older Nikkor lenses to be as sharp as my newer G glass lenses, they just don’t auto focus.
