I must admit that I haven't been too happy with the sky conditions in my area lately and Thur and Fri were both over 90 degrees. That's the type of stuff that will keep me around the house, luckily our yard has lots of flowers now. I went out and shot an iris this morning in the rain. We have a bunch of different colors but I liked this one best.
I am DISTROUGHT Spent hours getting hundreds of photos this day So many beautiful Irises of which I had saved a a few for flickr. I needed a new DVD drive and left my pc clinic for new dvd drive and guess what this original folder and lots more folders have been deleted by them unrequested action. Need less to say I have requested they recover all folders deleted on that day. Say a prayer Will know on Saturday coming.
From my archives - this was taken outdoors on a sunny day. The black background is produced by shooting into the shadow while the flower is brightly illuminated. A fun trick that works especially well with iris.

I first saw the origami hearts by Francis Ow in the Russian encyclopedia in 2000
It was just pictures. I wanted to fold some models and began to teach origami.
And keep up to date....
All this thanks to Francis.
I am very happy that now I can tell him "Thank you! Happy Birhday!!!"
This variety put out a few blooms this year. In all, only 5 of my 25 varieties bloomed, so I was happy to see this.
The DDG did a nice job, I thought, of turning my photo into a watercolor. That image was further modified and framed with a photo-editing program.
With each passing year,
The Iris grows virtually untended
And produces a fantastic model of mating in the flower world, as dresses of magnificent purple are as wedding dresses for mankind.
The closer you look,
The more you see the lure,
The urge to explore,
Bug of macro camera.

This is the first of my second ten thousand photos (see yesterdays post) All previous iris shots have been trashed. I like this one better....much better....thanks to a little trick I learned from Scott Kelby on a you tube video...when working a shot always include one or two taken on the diagonal not just the standard horizontal and vertical. First glimpse into my diagonally held camera I knew this iris was going to be a winner...just because it filled the frame well.....the iris was growing straight. To tilt it worked. What do you all think?
