Two Lilies


A few years ago I posted a photograph of this Lily Plant.  Over the ensuing years I have leaned a great deal about processing and "shot" set-up.

This is a re-shoot of the same plant, but 3 years later.  Last summer the plant did not bloom.  The plant is a solitary steam that I have grown for about 5 years.  This year was the first time that there was more than one bloom.  I was trying to get a photo all 3 blooms, however, the severe rain storm we had 2 nights ago ruined the plant.

These 2 sots were done with my 35mm f1.8 prime lens on the D200.  Added some sharpening and an OnOne frame on the single bloom.  Both of these were shot against a black background as I did not want to edit out a brick wall. (July 2013)

BTW...... The single bloom was posted on the Floral Friday theme on Google+ and I received the most +"s I have ever gotten for a single shot .
