Calla Lily
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 30 January 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Taking photos of this calla lily brought tears of joy to my eyes. This photo doesn't do justice to the flower's incredible serenity and beauty.
I will be gone for 9 days and won't be posting or viewing photos.
MANY THANKS FOR VISITING!!

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Magfinificas fotos. I like macros. Sorry for my inglish.

Great colors and texture - you can almost imagine what it is like to touch that flower (although I am sure the Longwood folks wouldn't like that!).

A glorious flower indeed, Anita. I like your beautiful take on it. Your capture of it's elegant curves and folds is so beautiful.

Great capture, again. The lily looks almost cloth-like with its gentle bends.

Lovely and soft picture. Very nicely composed and the white flower adds to the beauty of this image.
