Stargazer Lily

[mjordan]

I've switched from the Easter Lily and am now trying out shooting a Stargazer Lily. While the Easter Lily is white, this one has lots of color and open pedals. It's also a little different to shoot since it is more of an open flower. But it's still fun to shoot.

This is the first series I've done with it and hopefully I'll have a chance to try more before it loses it's "photogenic apeal". :D

10D 24-70 2.8L ISO 100 f20 1/100 with 2 softboxes and a smaller light with a snoot for fill.

Thanks all for the comments. I really like the coloring and shaps of this Lily as well. Since I've been doing all these flower pictures, I've gotten a better appreciation for them and how they look. And I'm sure my wife is really pleased that I'm buying her so many flowers. :D

I posted a low key version of the same type Lily just a bit ago.

Thanks again.
