Lucky people get to buy calla lilies for Easter before Easter because they can afford full price. I can't. I buy them a few days after Easter, most of the blooms have died and been removed.

But not all, and this bloom, nestled in the greenery, caught my eye in the grocery store. This is a 39" exposure with a Zeiss C/Y 100 f3.5 on 27mm of extension at f16, ISO 100. Took about an hour to work the shot out.

And what a wonderful hour...

Hi David!

People tell me that I have patience sitting for hours waiting for birds to photograph... but I find it very enjoyable.

Sitting in a grocery store for an hour+ to compose and make this beautiful image... Thats what I call patience!

Thats a beautiful photo... I really like it! ... Well done indeed!

You just never know where you'll find your next image - as you've illustrated. Sweet shot and well seen.

I'll be honest . . . . I'm not a flower photo person, but that said, I find this image very pleasing and relaxing. I love the simplicity, the wonderful texture and detail, and the composition and lighting. How can something so simple be so interesting? I don't know, but you made it happen.

Thanks to all for your kind words. It means a lot to have support as i work my way back. And it helps to have great gear. The Sony a7r just continues to take my breath away.

Just for the record, I saw the shot in the grocery store, but I had to buy the plant (post-holiday discount!!), lug it home and make the image in my basement.
