Abstract Daylily

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 6 July 2009 in Plant & Nature.

Another forum challenged us to photograph an abstract over the 4th of July weekend. This was my submission. Taken in the evening, outdoors, natural light, 105mm macro, tripod. It was fun!

*****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.

When the title "Abstract Lily" popped up in my RSS feed I got so excited! I couldn't wait to open up the image AND I wasn't disappointed! Love the color, lines, and curves.
