Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday


This is a macro of the Fortnight Lily, Cape Iris (Dietes iridioides), in my backyard. As the name implies, it blooms every 2 weeks. I love the complexity of the flowers.

What are the rules?
  • On any Sunday you can post any photo you like (it must be one of your own)
  • that hasn’t been tweaked or altered in any way (cropping is OK).
  • In other words Straight Out Of the Camera.
  • Also, please link back to Murrieta365. Thanks.






I had to re-do Mr. Linky, when I got home from work today. Sorry for the earlier problem.

I just happened on your blog today. I love photography too! I have two blogs and one is a photo blog. I like this idea of the SOOC meme. I imagine it sure challenges you to take good pictures the first time around! I hope to participate, if not tomorrow, then soon.

Leora said...

And your lily is so soft and pretty!

I love that tiny "hairs" below the purple part of the flower. You captured this in a very interesting angle.

It's my first time to join SOOC Sunday, my post is up HERE.

I haven't been by to visit for a while. No excuse why--need to update my bookmarks. I think I might go out and get up close and personal with my iris before they fade. See, I jsut hadd to stop by for full blown inspiration.
