Blue and white Iris in the rain (click to enlarge)
Above, a blue and white Iris photographed earlier this Summer in the rain. I like photographing Iris because of their complexity and structure; seemingly no two flowers are the same. This flower has the blue and white petals that make it stand out in the flower garden, but the color photograph left something to be desired and I have had it marked for black and white conversion

Photographing flowers around the house one Summer afternoon after a rain storm. I find the Iris is an interesting flower with its flowing petals, detailed structure, and bright colors.

An Iris in our flower garden photographed with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 135MM F/2.0L USM lens and converted to black and white with Adobe Lightroom CC.
A warm and sunny Spring day and the Iris are beginning to bloom. This particular specimen is located in a flower bed in our front yard and catches the afternoon sunshine. Here you can see the sun glimmering off the unopened petals, which I thought contrasted nicely with the shadows on the side not exposed to the sunlight. I've used the Canon EF 135MM F/2.0L lens attached to the Canon 7D Mark II and a tripod to capture this image.
Thanks for stopping by today.
The first Iris of Spring have bloomed. These purple Iris are in a flower bed at the end of our driveway and seem to have survived the harsh winter without a problem. The image here was taken handheld with a Canon 7D Mark II and a Canon EF 135MM F/2.0L USM lens in bright sunlight.
