It was a rainy dreary day today, so I decided to busy myself with taking a few shots of this lovely Calla Lily that my wife received for Mother's Day. We were trying to keep it outside, but the weather turned so cold and windy, so we decided to bring it indoors for a few days, until Spring decides it is going to stay for a while. The lighting is provided by a portable flash bounced into a white umbrella, and the on camera flash bounced into a silver reflector. No "special effects" were applied, to make it look more "painterly" or abstract. The darker vignetting around the edges is deliberate. If I have a lens that is not quite perfect, and shows a bit of vignetting, that is just fine with me, although most folks who do the online lens reviews give this a thumbs down as an optical flaw.....whatever! It was a fun way to pass the day...hope some folks will enjoy this image also.....Cheers!
