The lighting was very poor on these lilies that are in the yard of the woman who gives my daughters music lessons. It was harsh and was washing the colors out. But I happened to have a roll of Tri-X in one of my cameras, so I shot them in b&w instead. This is one of those shots.
Camera - Minolta Maxxum 7000
Film - Kodak Tri-X
Shutter Speed - 1/1000
Aperture Setting - f-5.6 Manual Mode
Used a gray card to meter
Used the self timer to avoid camera shake
Lens - Sigma 105mm macro/portrait lens
Scanning Method - My scan from my cheap little hp officejet 5510v all-in-one copy/scanner/faxer/printer
Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For…. Building my love of nature by taking us out to the country every weekend, then moving us out to the country.
This shot in B&W really works. Lovely image.

This is lovely. Very funereal but I like it!
This is really beautiful! :)
This is lovely in black and white.
Beautiful!!! I've really been getting into the B&W flower shots myself lately...they look so different yet still magnificent.
Ahhhhh I love contrast. This is a great picture.
B&W was a good choice. Lovely shot.
Simple and beautiful... It's just quite and peaceful looking at this picture. i love the shallow DoF, too.
Good old tri-X. Makes this picture almost funereal -- and a great shot.
Simplicity wins every time. Lovely smooth shot and neat composition.
wow. i like the contrast! very nice flower shot micki!
VERY nice! Love the white frame. Good touch.
A different view of the lily in B&W.
The white really pops out!All you need is a bride holding them!
Micki. It's a good composition and it's lovely the way the flowers pop out of the image. Great dof. Cheers... Chris
Nice composition and DoF. Well done.
Both me and my wifde agree that this is a damn neat shot.
Very harmonious
it's lovely. i have heard very highly of Tri-X :)
Although you mentioned that the lighting was poor I still think this is a classic photo. THere's something about B&W film photo that has me thinking of switching to it sometime soon...Amazing photo.
Cheers
