  1. That’s really nice!
    Can I ask a question? I’m not much of a photographer. I’m writing a book now, and taking my own photos. However, the program I am using for the book hates every picture. I keep getting the message that the resolution is wrong for my images. So, what resolution should I be using for large photos, like the one you have posted here.

    1. In your case resolution requirements probably depend on the program you use. Of course there is info galore on the internet. If you cannot find specs in your program for max image resolution, lessen the resolution a little at the time until the image is acceptable. Check this one on How To: http://askville.amazon.com/change-resolution-photo/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=2615467
      Not sure of course whether this info helps but hope so. You have a great blog Pam and for now it is bookmarked for follow up perusals.

      1. Thanks for the link. I will check it out soon.

  2. Beautiful photo! Lilly is a lovely lady.

    1. I wonder, Angeline, whether lilies, after roses, are the most photographed flowers. One of the reasons I published this photo is that I found nothing like it checking through images of lily on the internet.

  3. Nice one the wildflowers out in full force around the cowichan , shooting stars, fawn lilies, fairly slippers, yellow Violet’s and chocolate lilies what great time of the year to out and about. Really enjoy the blog. Pat

    1. Thanks Pat, It’s really good to hear from you again. I have been doing a little of the annual spring photography, but try to leave publishing to the real flower shooters. They work with the right tools, i.e. a nice macro lens for starters. It’s beautiful out there, though, rain or shine 🙂

  4. Nice shot Joseph – and it certainly is not like the usual lily shots at all. You may not have a good macro lens, but this is a good macro shot.

    1. Hi ehpem, I have the usual shots also. These pretty little things are hard to resist.

    A lovely image, Joseph, perfectly captured and processed here!

    1. Thank you Mr Toad, your comment is well appreciated. I have thought about a dark more even background for the photo (still do) but decided that this background shows up the flower very nicely.

  6. […] A view of lily – local photographer Joseph de Lange captures a wonderful shot of a spring lily in bloom, and his perfect post-processing on this shot really makes the details of this beautiful flower truly come to life.  A gentle vignette guides the viewer straight into the heart of this incredible frame, completing a fabulous image.

  7. This is pure magic.
    Amazing focus!

    1. Thank you Lisa, exploring flowers, especially in spring, is good fun and at times totally rewarding.
