How To Make Art From Fawn Lilies

A favorite old image from a few years ago spurs me to recreate the swirls and clarity That I love in that image. In the process I talk about the elements that help create art from wildflowers like Fawn Lilies.
The image that I say is my favorite towards the end of the shoot was taken with the Sony A7R3 Camera and a vintage Pentax SMC Takumar 55mm 1.8 lens, on a Meike 10mm extension tube and a Fotodiox Pro adapter.

You make “average” sunrises look spectacular! Amazing photos. Looking forward to your next video… hope you’re doing well.

Thanks K. I've taken a break from video production. Was finding I wasn't happy with the progress I was making. Will start back at it in the fall. Need to repair some equipment too. I really appreciate the encouraging comment, however, It gave me a big boost. ;-)

Absolutely beautiful fawn lilies, Richard! I got one or two shots of them when I was on the island in April, and was really quite taken with these pretty little flowers. Your images are stunning!

Thank you so much Kelley, that is a lovely comment and encourages me to keep going with these videos. We definitely share a appreciation for these beautiful wildflowers, and I noticed you got a great shot of the ferry lake tree. I think that was a long exposure if I’m not mistaken. You have a great eye for landscapes.

@@stillinthestream Yes, please do keep going - your videos are great! You have a wonderful selection of the lilies from over the years. The long exposure of the fairy tree was fun because I managed to get the water texture I wanted without too much movement in the tree. Thanks Richard!
