This was about as much color as I got on the evenig of Presidents Day last week photographing the Callas. There were also a throng of photgraphers that had to be cloned out (hopefully not obvious).

The recent rain in Northern California left lovely dewdrops on the Calla Lilies of Garrapata State Park.
Calla Lilies. I almost passed on even trying this shot - the lighting was terrible and the background was awful.
An old piece of corrugated cardboard hid the background, and a ringflash mounted on my handheld camera, supplemented by indirect lighting from second handheld flash to provide side / backlighting helped to take care of the lighting problems.
Given the challenging conditions and set-up I am pleased with the final result.

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.

I favour minimalism. Stripped of all extraneous details there is only form, texture and hue, each of which must be meticulously executed because there is nowhere for flaws and imperfection to hide. The finished results look deceptively simple. The calla lily is the perfect flower to use when I want to create a design that is minimal and elegant.
As a flower, the calla lily is the very essence of femininity and sensuality. Resembling the form of a woman, this flower was a popular subject in American art in the latter half of the 19th century, especially after Freud provided a sexual interpretation of its form. Georgia O’Keefe used the calla lily as a recurring provocative theme in many of her paintings and became known as “the lady of the lilies”. Nineteenth century art photographers also used the calla lily as an erotic motif. Diego Rivera, a famous early 20th century artist, also depicted the calla lily in a number of his works.
