I enjoy gardening and I bought a yellow Cal lily this spring of 2025. These were the first two blooms and excited to see how they would photograph. I have a small tabletop studio set in a spare room with studio lights and soft boxes. I use a Nikon, and Tamron 90 mm macro I enjoy gardening and bought a yellow Cal lily this spring of 2025. D850, ISO 160 at F16 and 1/80 on March 13. 2025 at 4.26pm.

Post processing notes:

Processed in On1 raw; I increased highlights and shadows slightly. Touched up a couple of blemishes. Then processed in effects adding dynamic contract, color enhancer, and sharpening. Then I Imported 2 textures for the background and masked off the call illy.
