This weekend I was hoping to visit Doors Open Denver. Yesterday it was overcast and windy so it was shelved til today. After leaving the house today, the rain came. Change of plan — I returned and decided to try out some studio shots of flowers. Whilst shooting these lilies, I found that the best composition was the following image of two lilies. This angle makes also shows the orange stamens against the dark gray background.<\/p>\n

Most of the flowers were either fully open or completely closed. There was a single lily that was half-open.<\/p>\n

These images were made with a speedlight. This light was softened by reflecting into an umbrella. Doors Open will have to wait until another time.<\/p>\n
