Really beautiful and so creative. Fav

I love calla lilies too. I used to grow them in the garden till I got too tired of digging the bulbs up and storing them every year, for the winter. I think I prefer yesterdays shot with the more natural colours, but this does have a nice dreamy quality.

@gardencat Thank you. this one is infrared so the colors are definitely not real but I like the dreamy aspect too. I too would like to grow them but, I not sure if they would do well in the high desert, we do get below freezing but its the rest of the weather I worry about so, I just a few every year and dream.

@megpicatilly Thank you so kindly for the fav. The 'weird' dreamy colors are due to the post processing of infrared. I was just pleased that the background came out as it did, I shot it against my ugly grey cement patio.

I'm loving your infrared shots and this is another cracker

That's a fav for me. Painterly. Lovely. Kind of abstract. Very nice.

@joysabin So very well achieved - not a hint of cement anywhere. Would never have guessed this.

Nice capture of the flower and beautiful blue colour background.

@deborah63 Thank you so much, I think that maybe I'm 'getting' this.

@mbrutus Very grateful for the fav, thank you kindly. The back ground really surprised me, it is my ugly cement patio. I'm guessing it was the lensbaby.

@stephanies Thank you a great deal. The surreal quality of infrared does allude me in post processing at times.

@blueberry1222 Very grateful for the fav, thank you. The blues and reds are swapped in post and at times it really works, others not so much.

That is an amazing outcome. I've often thought of taking the plunge with a lensbaby. But then confused by all the different products. And which one does what. Which one do you use?

@mbrutus Thank you very much, I have the Composer Pro with sweet 35 optic. Try youtube for videos on the various types. Clare Gadsby (@pistache) really does amazing lensbaby work.

@joysabin Thank you for being so generous with your suggestions and tips. I will try to look her up.

Cool.

@davidrobinson Thank you, infrared is very surreal and I am learning how to get my settings right.
