White Trillium II
Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 12 April 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
A little closer look at the White Trillium.
You didn't think I'd actually walk away without a closer macro shot did you? : )

Karen from San Francisco, United States
That's pretty cool. I learned about that flower at a camp, haha. It was so fascinating because everything is in 3. =P

@Karen: Great symmetry with this flower!! Thanks for the visit and comment!
Art Monkey from Salt Spring Island, Canada
I think I like this one even more than the other one -it's colours are very soft, but the details are great - did you know this is the official flower of Ontario?

@Art Monkey: Thank you!!! : )
I read a bit on the web about the flower and that was one of the facts! This is the first time I have ever seen one! They really are beautiful!
Bronnie from New Zealand
Such crisp detail, you couldn't possible walk away without doing a close-up!!
12 Apr 2007 7:42am
@Bronnie: It was funny...I was by the side of this narrow mountain road, trying to get these shots with cars whizzing by...and on top of that I was right outside a tunnel and for some reason in that area they like to honk their horns while inside the tunnel...kept making me jump LOL
The things we do for a great shot! : D
Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States
At first glance I thought. Oh Oh! She's blowing out the highlights! But, as my eyes adjusted all that beautiful detail came in to focus in your highlights! Mid-tones and shadow detail are happening too! Your gettin awesome Jen!!!

@Craiger: = D Thank you so much Craig!
The sun and shadows were hitting it perfectly...right time...right place!
Sidonie from Sydney, Australia
This is the better shot - it draws the viewer right into the heart of the flower. Yes, it looks like a lily we have here too. Beautiful macro!

@Sidonie: Thank you Sidonie!!
Yukie from Kyoto, Japan
Black background makes a good contrast with this white flower. great macro. love lights from behind the flower.

@Yukie: The sun was hitting it just perfectly from behind!

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Jen, you are really tempting me so much to fork out couple of thousands to get a macro lens.... hahaha.... If you keep posting such wonderful macros, i would end up with a large hole in my pocket LOL ;-)
12 Apr 2007 5:20pm
@Rahul: : )
You are so kind Rahul!! I just love macro shots, can you tell? LOL
Please don't break your bank account!!! You have wonderful shots without it!!!
Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Looks like we are instant here... hehehe. Well i dont have to be an astrologer to tell that macro shots are love of your photography life. ;-)
12 Apr 2007 5:35pm
@Rahul: hahahaha!!!
That obvious huh? : )
Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
You still are asking me if its obvious ?? ;) Ask yourself, btw whats on menu tomorrow ?? I bet its another macro LOL :) I would either have a big hole in my pockets or probably end up loosing the whole pant, in attempt to get a good macro lens hehehe... Ooooppppsss... ssshhhh nah wont go to that extent for the love of photography ;)
12 Apr 2007 6:14pm
@Rahul: Now Rahul I can't tell you...it would ruin the surprise!! : D
LOL, better watch those pants!
@Myst: Thank you very much Myst!
Yvon from Meerkerk, Netherlands
Wow, this one is really good, I prefer it better than the previous one. The lighting,details, shade, DOF, are all combined to a great photo!
12 Apr 2007 9:19pm
@Yvon: Thank you Yvon...this is one of my favorites!
Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia
Fantstic maco-work here Jen, tones, capture of light and DoF are all fantastic. Excellent work!
12 Apr 2007 10:06pm
@Chris Sullivan: Thank you very much!!! I appreciate all your comments and encouragement!!
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Lovely detail, I like your approach in this shot, the colours are beautiful
12 Apr 2007 10:51pm
@Richard_Irwin: Thank you Richard!
@Craig Persel: Thank you so much!!
I think this is getting enlarged and framed.
@Reza: It's just the dark ground below the flower...Thank you!!
ajoeh from Mataram, Indonesia
Perfect lighting (or should I say lucky lighting.. lol), the black background brings a good contrast and I'm sure if it is all black and without 'a small cut off' on the lower petal, it will double its beauty.
13 Apr 2007 2:06am
@ajoeh: right place, right time!
I truly wish I had gotten that little piece in the picture...oh well, lesson learned right?
Erik Tjallinks from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Gorgeous, especially the white glow in the right upper leaf makes it un-earthy.
14 Apr 2007 6:48pm
@Erik Tjallinks: Hi Erik!
Thank you!
Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan
I love the way the petal on the upper right gently bends toward the camera, affecting the shading down the petal.
15 Apr 2007 5:04am
@Mike Cash: Thanks Mike!
I just love the beauty natural sunlight can create!
@Alain: Thank you Alain!
