Some kind of Flower?

Randog · Oct 2, 2005

As some of you probably already know I am not the flower type. I dont have any kind of clue to what kind of flower this is or even if it is a flower? All I know is that it was there and I shot it! I dont think it turned out too bad, maybe I should have stepped up one f/stop? Then again the shot may just suck I don't know let me know?

Definitely a lily and a nice one at that. I like the compositon and the bokeh. The white balence might be a touch on the blue side, but that could be my monitor. Nice work.

yep. i believe its a tiger lily...nice shot!

I am voting on it being a Day Lily but I know nothing about plants.

Agreed on the great bokeh!

sweet Lily Randog!!

So a lily it is.
Beautiful flower.
Also my first thought was "good bokeh"!

Compositionwise I might have let the flowers look INTO the photo instead of OUT OF IT, but that is probably just me...

I grow and hybridize these flowers.
This is a daylily, or "hemerocallis".

It's a Day Lily. I took a shot of one of these flowers & I thought it was good until I saw your picture

.

Randog · Oct 3, 2005

So I believe that it must be a Day Lily judging by your responses. Knopka you're too sweet I am sure your shot is great and probably better than mine. Thank you all for your kind words.

That's "daylily", .................. one word.

So, it's a one word. Good to know

, thank you. And, Mike, my picture is not even close to yours!

Gosh, I wanted you to be just a bit closer and let that flower blow me right off the screen. When you start to lose depth of field in the background, get as close as you can and keep everything about the flower in focus. It's tough to do, but then when you nail it, you have a very memorable image. I don't know much about the equipment you have, but if you can follow my suggestion, you will be surprised at the result. Nice work.
