11th June 2014

This is the first of our Day Lilies which has just flowered outside our back door and as their name suggests, last just one day! It is a sign of the mild winter and warm days that we are having as they did not start flowering until the 4th if July last year. I was using the Macro but it was early evening so the light was low so I had to work with a narrower d.o.f. than I would have liked to keep the shutter speed up.

Flashback to July 2013… http://365project.org/emmadurnford/365/2013-07-04
Absolutely amazing macro! Fav!

I do like your choice of focus and blur! Its like they are rising above the orange mist!

These are so great though in their willingness to hang out and be glorious for a day of sunshiny brilliance.

I really like the way you've focused on the stamens Emma and surrounded them with softness, fav for me!
