Stargazer Lily with Texture
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 17 July 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Stargezer Lily from my garden. Taken indoors with natural light from window. Overexposed on purpose. Texture Pink Floralby pareeerica added.
I am finding Asiatic Lilies difficult to photograph! Does anyone have some tips?
*****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.

I like this overexposed treatment. Guess we just keep experimenting. This has a very lovely painterly quality. I recently posted one that was almost underexposed.....

I really like the convincing way you have styled this . . bold but successful in projecting the flower.

This is very beautiful Anita. I love the high key nature and I am always a sucker for well done added textures. You should pursue this type of imagery more.
