Lily
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 8 June 2008 in Plant & Nature.
Early Friday morning I went out to garden before the temperatures got too hot. I noticed my first lilies had bloomed, that the sky was overcast and there was little breeze: perfect for taking photos. Very little gardening got done that morning.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
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.

Beautiful colors and composition - I love how the flowers are next to some more that are ready to open.

As I once said you don't photograph flowers, you portray them.

Beautiful soft shot ... has a delicate, painterly feel to it.
