It’s summer time, so once again I’m on the lookout for our surprise lilies. I did a photo of a surprise lily a couple years ago that I was happy with, but I’m always looking for a way to improve.
As before, I found this one while mowing the back yard. I did some photos in the studio, but the clouds looked like we might have a really nice sunset. So, dinner was delayed while I dragged the camera, tripod and a strobe with a softbox out onto the driveway. My goal was to photograph the lily against the sunset colors in the western sky. As it turned out, the colors never developed, but I still like the cool blue colors and the shapes of the clouds.
