“Calla Lily”
Playing around with some Calla Lilies this week and came up with this shot and a few others, I have finally got the urge to shoot again after a long winter and basketball season, I forgot how much I enjoyed it.
I am hoping to get a break in the weather, it is up to almost 50 today and tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer, but alas we are expecting a couple snow or rain systems to push thru this week and bring us back to winter. But I am feeling better because it won’t be long before I am outside and shooting again, so I should be able to post alot more images than I have lately, thanks for stopping by and taking a look.















Absolutely gorgeous Bernie…

Bernie-
Wow, awesome depth of field. I love the rich blacks in this shot!
Tom
These are stunning! I love the yellow in the middle!
The black background is so suitable with the Lily colour. Great job Bern.
Amazing imagery.
I carried fake Calla Lilies when I was trying on my wedding gown about nine years ago. Your shot looks so much brighter and lively compared to the ones I took at the studio. Great job.
Wow, Bernie. This is a fabulous shot. You’ve outdone yourself.
Oh that is brilliant. I actually was wandering in a florist shop today thinking of your shots and then … could I? nah… and here you are with this absolutely stunning photograph and here I am going. Okay no I can’t.
I have to say (cuz I tend to be a loud mouth) This photo seems more balanced than you calla lilies in the past. Weighted properly brilliant. I think your just “just barely” lighting here make it look very sexy. In a few words; I love it.
What a stunning composition.
I wonder…did you just drop them into a vase or did you arrange them to some extent? They just seem to flow from one flower to the next.
It’s another stunning shot, Bernie.
Nicely done, Bernie. The photo is as beautiful as the flower!
stunning image Bernie, love the arrangement, and the black background works very well with the white flowers, awesome perspective.
Oooh. I like this. I like the swirling lines & the contrast.
Very nice image Bernie.
You did a great job with thes lilies. The black background really set it off.
classic portrait lighting Bernie. Do you do any still life photography?
Wow – the the light, the composition, the dramatic colors – all are most beautiful and just perfect!
Wow, what a beauty…
Great comp Bernie. It’s quite something when you present a composition that you know it wouldn’t look right any other way.
Lovely photo, lighting, focus, and composition are all spot-on!
Beautiful, the lighting with the dark made it gorgeous!
there is so many really nice photos I couldn’t make up my mind which one to comment on.This is a nice close up nice composition.
This is so beautiful. You have a wonderful blog here. I’ll be back to look at more of your pictures.
what a dramatic image, have missed your work coach.. and now that you have more time to devote to your photography, I can only imagine how your creativity will blossom.
Bernie, what a great beautiful image. Fine lighting and just enough warm color. Very nice.
This is beautiful.

Bernie…really fantastic perspective on this one…I love it, particularly the way you ‘look down the barrel’ of the flower on the left!
Very nice. I like it a lot.
