Lily--Lombardia Oriental
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 13 July 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
I'm relatively new to growing oriental/asiatic lilies, and I'm finding them to be enchanting! I wish I could share their perfume also.
*****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.

Excellent. With your photos I know many more flowers than I did and how detailed.

Excellent study of this exquisite Lily. The negative space background really sets this off.

You choice in the way you have the light falling on the flower is terrific. I would think even the orchid fanciers would be attracted to these lillies.
